Spring is here!

Finally! What a long long long long long long winter. Did I mention it was a long winter? You knew that already. It was tough training this winter here in the Northeast. Dave and I broke down and bought a pair of running snow shoes. Holy tough! I look forward to buiding fitness with them through the trails next year but it is demoralizing to be "running" in them and only covering 3-4 miles per hour!
As the weather warms up, and we return to cycling outdoors, please be safe and practice "defensive biking" always assume the car drivers don't see you because 9 times out of ten they don't.
On the racing front there is plenty coming up!

• The Marcie Mazzola 5k Fellow TFMer Shannon Malone is very involved in this race, come on out and support the cause!
• The Long Island festival of races at Eisenhower: 10k, half marathon and marathon
• Hither Hills off road half marathon on May 1st: http://tiny.cc/cjorc
• Greenbelt trail 50k and 25k runs
• Carl Hart Mothers Day Du
• Long beach trophy run (10 miles)

There is something going on every weekend now, have fun training and racing, we'll be back in the lake soon!
