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.

This week starts Phase III of my current training cycle. Phase II was short, but went well.

Phase III will last five weeks and is usually the hardest phase. Additionally, I’m racing Dem Calves this weekend.

Yesterday I raced the Turkey Strut 5k in Winston-Salem, NC. My goal was to negatively split the race, which I did.

I ran a 23:44, which is a VDOT score of 40.7, making it my best race since August’s Decatur DeKalb 4 Miler.

This week starts Phase II of my training cycle targeting the Jerome Scales Southside 5 Miler in February. The focus will be on anaerobic R-pace work.
