There must be people implementing their New Year's resoutions. The competition for the most improved runner of the month was hotly contested. Kathy Hoops was 22 seconds under her handicap for the monthly most improved honors. But she was only 2 seconds better than the next runner, Brian Smithey. Congratulations to all. Many people have done a race weekend double, running the Rescue Run yesterday and the Nielson Challenge today.
