So, as a way to start things off, what are your goals this winter?

I'd like to get in 500 miles between Jan 1st and March 31st. (3 months). You see, I joined this 2000 mile club and now I have to go after the goal. That should be a challenge seeing as last year I just reached over 1350 miles for the year. I'd also like to try to run the snow joke half marathon in Feb. without dieing a horrible death. (Janna, 250 should be enough to reach the minimum level. But, it's to March 14th.) Bill

Is Anne doing any running? She was running everyday. It seemed like she was going to take a break after the Footlocker meet. Remember, the half marathon is called the Snow "Joke". It's not meant to be a serious race. It more an opportunity to run with a bunch of others in the dead of winter at a distance that it way too far. Bill

45 a week? Wow! I'm jealous. Sounds a bit like Jacob's mileage, whom I see has just moved onto the leader board of the 2000 mile group. It would be great to have both Anne and Cassie join us on the site. It's a pretty cool way to keep in touch. I really like to nature of the entire site also. It's about running rather than all competition. I like the idea of keeping with the fact that running can be a lifestyle rather than only about how fast a person can run. Of course, I'd rather get the benefit of speed also. Bill
