I hope your Spring is starting better than the Phillies’ season. If not, there’s still time to turn it around for your goal races later in the year. We have longer days and better weather ahead of us.
There are several interesting topics for the April monthly meeting (scheduled for Thursday, 4/11, at 7pm — click HERE for details and to RSVP):
