That's the official time run by Andrew Freeman in the 40th Peachtree Road Race.

((I feel good I feel good did better than I did a few weeks didn't have to dodge traffic just a lot of people ))

As he replenished his body with drinks and a snack bar, Freeman's wife Emily gave her thoughts on Andrew's latest accomplishment:

(( pretty amazing I can't believe he did it ))

After those encouraging words Andrew decided it was a good time to tell Emily about some future plans:

((I'm contemplating a half marathon so, we'll see ok ok just tell me where to be))

Kenyan Sammy Kitwara finished the race in 27 minutes. For the women it was fellow countrywoman Lineth Chepkurui in 31 mins. 31 seconds..

Marcel Hug and Edith Hunkeler both from Switerzland took top honors in the wheelchair division.
