Hi everyone!

For the past few days I have been obsessively looking at the weather forecast – we're reaching the 70s today! Seems like spring is in full swing, and summer will come soon after. Not to jinx anything (hopefully), but I guess it's time to store some of your winter gear and get the shorts ready! I am excited to wear my singlet and short shorts again...

Anyway, we have all our regular runs as planned this week, but mark your calendars for April 22nd as we do our spring edition of Run to Gardening! Not only will we be helping out Hunters Point Park, but we're also celebrating birthdays of our two amazing organizers, Annie and Juli! After volunteering we'll be sticking around LIC Landing for some refreshments. See you there!

And speaking of Hunters Point Park, our very own LIC 5K is fast approaching! Your organizers have started getting things rolling, and will be reaching out to all of you soon to discuss different ways you can help. A lot of people, both adults and kids, have already signed up the last few weeks – it got sold out last year so make sure you and your family and friends are in! It's gonna be so much fun, I'm telling you.

Watch out for a few more events coming up soon – a photo scavenger hunt run, a long run in the Palisades, and a post-Brooklyn Half yoga recover session!

Run free,

Jason

P.S. Congratulations to our Thursday Evening Run leader David for finishing the Fighting Seabees Marathon in Rhode Island yesterday! And also to our members who represented at the NYRR UAE Healthy Kidney 10K at Central Park!
