they are my favorite kind of video to make right now
Ran a sub 21 minute 5k time trial this morning for a new PB! Living in North Alabama I plan to run the Peachtree next year. My son had a horse riding accident 9 years ago and spent the summer rehabbing in the Shepherd Center so it will be almost 10 years to the day when he was there. I didn’t realize this race ran past the Shepherd Center until I watched some of the footage on the Atlanta news station. It will be a very emotional race and I will want to do the best I can because I know exactly how hard those kids are working to get back to back to living normal lives. If you go back, I would suggest visiting the Shepherd Center because it is such an amazing place.

I didn’t know that the patients would be out in the course to cheer us on. It was inspiring for me, even as someone who didn’t have a prior connection to the place

Congrats on the PB! I took just barely broke 21min on the 4th, on my mission to sub 20min by the end of the year. Do you have a similar goal by the end of 2023?
Running this for the first time next week and this video got me even more excited about it!

Oh man. That opening brought me back. I lived in Cumming for a few years up until 2020 and I got into running on the Big Creek greenway. I miss those trails. I'm in Charlotte now, but my love of running was born on those trails and on Sawnee mountain a few minutes north.

Looks like a blast Ko! Glad you enjoyed Big Creek, I try to get out there on the weekends, such a fun flat course for running easy and putting down miles. I haven't ran since Adidas became the title sponsor for ATC, looks like they put a ton of money into the expo. Hope you make it back sometime! We also have some great trail races and ultra in the north GA mountains!

The singlet kinda seemed a bit stiff and perhaps scratchy when I picked it up at the expo (almost like it had gotten starched at the dry cleaner). But it was great to race in. No issues at all
