Around the Lounge
Traditionally, the third week of January is the coldest week of the year. We enjoyed -13 degrees on Wednesday, so let’s hope the worst is behind us.
While it was cold outside, matters were warm and very busy at the Lounge. Sixty new friends joined the community you are part of and building. They represent every running interest from all over. Let us introduce you to a few new members:
Dodie, who is committed to running to deal with diabetes and other health issues. SJTony also is battling the Hulk he calls diabetes.
RoadRunnerChick loves what she’s learned about running and now is enjoying ultra running.
EERunner is a club leader and is inviting his friends and members to join the lounge to better communicate with each other. He’s set up a Lounge Group just for his Long Island running club
