On Sunday, we changed our clocks and went out for breakfast at Homegrown GA in Cabbagetown. Great place to head out to with good food, tasty biscuits, and a thrift store in the back. It's a unique thing to have at the back of a restaurant. An old roommate and his wife own it. We've been meaning to visit and glad we finally made it. So try it out. Eat Kevin's breakfast which is described as a southern version of huevos rancheros (big fan of the description). The next Atlanta Roller Girls bout is this Saturday at the Yaarab Shrine Center. You can find Hilary there although she is not skating, yet. Are you a fan or opponent of WalMart? On Sunday, March 18, the movie "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price" will be shown at Push Push Theater. The Spring electronics recycling event will be at the Decatur Public Works building on Talley St.
The Publix GA Marathon is passing through Decatur this weekend. The water stations are looking for volunteers. Cheering sections will also be up and around the route. You can find me on a bike escorting a marathon runner (the irony of it all). If you are running this weekend, good luck!
What else is going on this week/weekend?
One of the bigger runs this weekend is the GA Publix Marathon and Half-Marathon. If you can come out, cheer the runners on. I usually see a couple of familiar faces along the route.
If you are not into the marathon or half, there are others. On Saturday is the Luckie 5K and Kids Fun Run in Atlanta, the O'Highlands' Jig & Jog St. Patrick's Day 5K in the Highlands, and the Downtown Dash for Diabetes 5K. There are also 2 trail runs. On Saturday in Conyers is the Dirty Spokes Runnin The Rocks 10K/5K Trail Running Race and in Carrollton is the Man vs Mountain3 5K Trail Race.
This Wednesday you will be running route 10. Even with the time change, it's still dark at the end of the runs so please wear your lights and other reflective gear. This run seems to have a lot of car traffic at the main intersections the route crosses so please watch out for drivers who may not be paying attention. The run hits Rockyford, Hosea, Tupelo, and the rolling hills of Spence/McDonough. You can see the map through the link below. I think this is the link that has the most trouble with, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, but if not, run route 10. After this 5 miler it is off to Mojo's Pizza for food, drinks, and trivia.
Thanks for making the Oakhurst Running Club one of the friendliest running club in Atlanta.
