Jeff Galloway 13.1 in Atlanta
What a great day (and cold) to run a half marathon in Atlanta… plus, I never want to miss an opportunity to race something that involves the amazing Jeff Galloway. Put the JG 13.1 race on your list for the following reasons: beginner-friendly run-walk super friendly great run-walk pace groups too hilly but lots of […]
