I think most of us have been around New England for long enough that we aren’t surprised winter hasn’t let go yet, and has presented some challenging running conditions the last few weeks.

Across the club I see members hitting goals with races of all levels: 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, and now some full marathons here in New England and in Europe. There are also members reaching out to…
