Peachtree 10K on 4th July. Atlanta here I come!

I just signed up for the Peachtree Road Race 10K. It took a while. The demand to take part in this race is typically phenomenal, and this year was no exception. The Active.com website crashed under the strain, and I had to wait for them to fix the problem.

The Peachtree Road Race the world's biggest 10K. This year there will be 58,000 participants. Being run on Independence Day (boo) it typically fills up in no time. I've never raced in such a big event, so it should be quite an experience.

New shoes for the London Marathon

I hate buying shoes. Even running shoes. Why some women love shopping for shoes is something that will always be beyond me. But, I needed a new pair, so I went to Run and Become and found some. I am now the owner of a nice new pair of Mizuno Wave Ultima 2.

Hopefully I can break them in before the London Marathon. Only 5 weeks to go. I hope I can do it. My old scabby pair are long past their best and I don't want to run 26 miles in shoes lacking support.
