Small group kept Christmas Eve Run to Posey’s going – D Yon 12-29-20

A VIEW FROM THE TOP – December 27, 2020

President’s Column – February 2023
I’m not much of a runner. I’m not fast, and I don’t even run far anymore, but boy do I love being part of our amazing Tallahassee running community. All those fuzzy feelings are why I decided to up my leadership game in Gulf Winds Track Club. But I also thought it...
