PM - 10 miles easy to moderate on the treadmill.  Legs felt a bit tired from the two workouts this week, but felt fine cardiovascularly.   Signed up as a member of the Atlanta Track Club.  It appears it assures you of an early registration opportunity to the Peachtree road race in July.  A "bucket-list" race for me.

Ooooo, the ATC!

Say hi to Benji Durden, Jeff Galloway, and the gang for me.

Seriously, that's a great club with some great teams and workout groups. I'm jealous!

Trav's old coach, Gary Droze, runs a few events per year as part of the men's masters team. Gets shoes and travel expenses - pretty cool.

Are you moving to Atlanta? The ATC Masters teams wins a lot of National Championship races ... I qualified for the team, but those dudes are way faster than I am! I did run Boston with them the last two years. The club hosts a lot of great races, many free to members. We should get together for a run sometime when you are in town.

JG - I will be relocating to ATL at the beginning of the summer. In the meantime I am generally in town Mon through Thursdays several weeks out of the month. Would be great to get together for a run.
