New Members
Welcome to Ashley Malm. Ashley tells us, "I started running track in college at NJIT in 2005 just to stay in shape. I wasn't very fast, but I fell in love with distance running. After quitting track I began to run on my own and have done 5Ks, 10Ks, and this past year a couple half-marathons. Now I'm ready to try my hand at a marathon and have plans to run Boston and New York. For me it's not about the speed, but how far I can go."
Lori Shaw and James Rizol also join our posse.

Another Chance to Freeze

The race is put on by our friends to the south in the Ambler Area Running Club and directed by our own Ira Meyers. The race attracts a big enough crowd for chip timing. So go to www.aarclub.com to find out more and register.
