Greetings from my home state of Maryland where it looks like I may be running a 10K in the rain tomorrow thanks to Tropical Storm Andrea.
But I the latest weather report for metro Atlanta shows sun and maybe some clouds in the area tomorrow, so I hope everyone will get out there and run. The less-than-one-month countdown has begun for the AJC Peachtree Road Race, so let’s make these weekends count.
For some upcoming blog posts, I’m asking for your help. The AJC Peachtree Road Race uses hundreds of volunteers, who are just as committed to being a part of the big event as those running in it. If you know someone who signs up every year to hand out water, help at the expo or whatever it is to lend a hand, let me know. I’d love to talk to some of the volunteers and find out why they participate every year.
And, I want to know where the parties are. Ok, I know, it’s tough to party and then run in a race. But I’m talking about the people on the sidelines, the ones who actually plan and coordinate and make it a tradition to watch the AJC Peachtree with a group of friends. They have their own AJC Peachtree stories to tell, and I’d like to do that here.
