Back in Action

Can you feel the excitement in the air? Well, if you can’t that means you are still in your winter hibernation and need to wake up! The 2012 race season has begun and many area athletes have been putting in a bunch of hours of training to get ready. The month of December saw Francois Modave log over 450 running miles and Gretchen McElroy in addition to her running and biking has been tearing up the pool. Despite a few spells of bad weather, El Paso has once again proved that year around training outdoors is the norm.

Many of you are trying to get your race schedule planned out for the year and have been asking what races are available? Well here are some links that you need to go to:
