But there was lots of wind, so it did feel colder. A big crowd for January of 78 showed up, 37 of whom were new runners for the Nielson Challenge. Thus the word must be getting out of this little gem of a run. Or maybe many people are following up on their New Year's Resolutions. Of the veteran Nielson runners, Kevin Wood had the most improved time for the month with a solid 2:45 under his handicap. Kevin is a repeat winner and now has a steak of two consecutive winning months. You 'da man, Kevin! Now the pressure is on for a three-peat. Join us again in February, same channel, same time, same place ... same winner?
