October 2016 - It has now become a real tradition at the annual John Goldman Conference on CML. Early Sunday morning at 7 am

This year 35 meeting participants of the 18th John Goldman Conference on CML in Houston had an early start to the day before the Sunday morning sessions, running a 5km loop round through Houston’s beautiful Memorial Park. Even this early in the morning it was already pretty hot and humid.
