Brrrrr... Winter returned with temperatures in the 30s with a very, very
strong wind out of the north.  This made for quite a cold run for the
runners and for the volunteers.  But we made it.  As far as anybody
remembers, the Nielson Challenge has never been canceled, even when
the weather does not cooperate.

There were still a few people who ran under their handicaps, which is
quite amazing.  Kenneth Gregoire was under his handicap by 1:28, so he
is this month's most improved runner.  Congratulations, Kenneth.  You
'da man.

Join us again in May.  Surely, the weather will be nice then.  And
stay warm.  I'm heading to the hot tub so I can warm up in time for the
May race.
