Come Run, Come All

Monday, July 4th, 2011


Today is the 41st consecutive annual Peachtree Road Race, the largest 10k in the world...


with a total of 60,000 runners and 150,000 spectators, right in the heart of Buckhead...



This will be my first time running, my brother's 2nd, and my dad's 15th...


Collectively, the runners will burn 34 million calories, and drink 120,000 gallons of water...


Get outside, enjoy the time with your friends and family, and celebrate today! 


Happy Fourth :)
