December 18, 2010...Beaver, PA. The Big Dawgs Mid December Run
It was cold & windy but 11 Dawgs got in a good run around Beaver, including 2 Mile Hill. Actually it was 10 runners since Dave is still following his Doctor's advise of no running. Instead he rode his bike for 10 1/2 miles until his frozen toes screamed for warmth.
