Hi Y’all, What a crazy week. Temperatures dropped into the 60s and there is a rumor that it may get into the 50s next week. The horror!! It may be obvious I have an unhealthy obsession with the weather. We may be treated to good running conditions for Saturday’s run/walk, so I’m hoping to see lots of members join… Read More
