This issue's columns are especially full. Not only do Glen Wiener, the new president, and
Richard Garland, the new editor have their say, but
Francine Alfandary has put together a great FootNotes column with the comings and goings of various Flyers. And
we have not one, but two Coach's Corner Columns — from Coach Toby, who talks about training issues from cold weather,
to cross-training, and on to getting older, and from Coach Joe, who speaks of the whys, and wherefores of periodic speed workouts. Finally
Papa Bear, AKA the Editor, gives some light-hearted advice for running month by month throughout the year.

On Saturday night, January 30th,
The Flyers held its annual Awards Gala with close to 200 Flyers and friends attending. I think we can agree that it was one of the most awesome and
enjoyable of all the awards dinners we have held over 20 years.
Amy Mills, 7 time chair of the planning committee, tells of nearly 6 months of preparation for this annual event. We
owe Amy and all of the several teams who worked on this event a big debt of gratitude. More than you ever knew!
Amy's report is followed by a 3 part photo essay — each part consisting of one or more slide shows with an accompanying narrative. Bob Cowin,
photographer extraordinaire, is responsible for most of these photos. The parts are Cocktail Hour: getting warmed up and looking pretty.
Awards Presentation: featuring the winners in both running attire and evening attire, together with the citations. And
Dancing and More: scenes of the group waiting for the music to start, dancing like never before and taking a break.
The final offering in this
section is Quotable Quotes: a collection of feelings and recollections of some of the members who helped put the Gala together,
accompanied by a little slideshow magic.

In this section, we learn a little about
the non-running lives of some of our members. There's all
kinds of tidbits about the New Board. And Dave Kleckner is not only an up-and-coming runner,
but a dedicated volunteer with a fantastic family — and a funny man. In Toby's thoughtful
account of his years working in Kenya, we learn of the good times and the tough times, but most of all we find real
dedication and hope for the future.

Ever get tired of the same old, same old?
Maybe you need to find a new distance or just go someplace new.
That's what this new section, Beyond Central Park is all about.
Scott Martin takes us on a personal journey from road running to trail running to ultra running. Meanwhile
back in Manhattan, Papa Bear leads a run up the west side of Manhattan with beautiful views along the way. And finally
Susan Snyder finds great fun in the north country with snowshoe racing.
