Race: Peach tree Road Race (6.214 Miles) 00:45:45

Peachtree Road Race - 10K.   - originally the plan was for Richie to make a trip from Florida to run together- but his plans changed last minute - and he could not make it.   As it happened I had picked up his race number - and Dan did not have a race entry - so he ran with Richie's number.   

Dan has been nursing a calf problem - so he did not want to push too hard and seeing as we only have a few weeks before he relocates to Virginia - we decided not to race but to run it with a decent but conservative effort.   Had a great time   We were conversational most of the whole course.   Very small spectating crowd from a normal Peachtree race - and much smaller field - though this was the first of 2 race days - to accommodate for Covid.   
 

I think we averaged just over 7:15 pace and in the last .2 miles we ran sub 6 mins for fun.   Really enjoyed this one.
