Now that Steve’s Surprise Birthday Marathon is over, I can publish my race calendar for the year.

I plan to peak for the Big Beach Half Marathon (already done), Wingfoot Mile, and Turkey Strut.

Saturday I raced the Atlanta Track Club Decatur DeKalb 5k in Decatur.

I hit my race strategy and ran my fastest 5k since 2022.
