huge MAZAL TOV to our Flyer brides and grooms! Emily Schuster became Emily Snyder on October 2, when she married film critic Steve Snyder. Appropriately, Emily and Steve wed in a movie theater in Madison, Wisconsin. The couple enjoyed a two-week honeymoon in Hawaii, returning just in time for Emily to run the NYC Marathon . . . Susan Hecht married David Cohen on January 16, at Pier 60 at Chelsea Piers. Susan and David met when Glen Weiner “happened” to ask Susan to drive David to a long training run in Croton in the fall of 2008. . . The next day, January 17, Nicole Cely exchanged vows with Ben Bartfeld at the Angler's Boutique Resort in Miami Beach.

ust when you think the Flyers can’t get any more insane, someone does something totally crazy. This time it’s Kathy Kass. Kathy ran back-to-back marathons, in Mississipi on Saturday and Alabama on Sunday, both in temperatures well below freezing. Kathy has now completed 36 states in her 50-state marathon quest . . . Not to be outdone, Scott Martin completed a 100-K on January 9, his third race of 50 miles or longer since September! . . . Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Kathleen Nitschelm ran a half marathon in 1:58. Kathleen is over 70, meaning she ran 1:22 on an age-adjusted basis. Kathleen is one of the original 1989 Founding Flyers.

They will run the Big 5 Marathon to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. . . Scott Cohen is one of several Flyer men who will graduate to the veteran age group this year, including Ed Fajardo, Ken Marks, and Glen Weiner. Look for our Men’s Vet team to give our legendary Women Vets a run for their money!
