But this didn't stop 92 runners from coming out and running the 2 mile race. The wind was cold, but it was coming out of the north, so the runners had a tailwind the first 1/2 mile and the last 1/2 mile. This month's winner was Kathy Landis, who was 3:24 under her handicap. She's been training on treadmills and her hard work is paying off. Good job, Kathy. We'll see everybody again in April.
