Here is the link to place your votes https://www.gazettes.com/southbay/
Just a few things about voting: 10 categories must be filled in, otherwise the ballot will not count. And you can only vote once from an IP address, so I would suggest using your cell phone, home computer as well as your office computer. We are also doing a print ballot in the paper, coming out on April 11, 18 and 25 in case anyone wants the physical ballot. All entries must be in my May 2nd.

Spring Events Around Town
Spring is in the air and has some of the best weather for any of those 5ks, Warrior dashes or bicycle rides – not too hot, not too cold. If you want to move your muscles, signing up for any of these events is a great goal to work towards. Get an accountability partner to join you – that makes it even more fun! Here are a few events happening around the country. Visit your local events calendar to see what's going on near you.
• Color Run - The color run is a vibrant event hosted in at least 100 cities around the country. Runners wear white and are doused in color every kilometer. Celebrate after the finish line at the "Finish Festival" with live music and dancing.
• Spartan Race - The Spartan Race has three obstacle options for those that want to push themselves. While they aren't beginner-type courses, the 3-mile, 15-obstacle Spartan Sprint has a 99.9 completion rate and is considered the easiest option.
• Zombie Run - This nighttime run includes options for all skill levels, including the Black Ops course that includes obstacles. The race is held at night while you run from volunteers dressed up as zombies. There are 28 cities hosting zombie runs.
• Iron Horse Bicycle Classic - There are plenty of different spring rides across the country. The Iron Bicycle Classic has become a well-known event in the Durango, Colorado, area that takes place every Memorial Day Weekend. It includes a host of different rides for different levels, including the Durango Cyclery Cruiser Crit where participants dress up in their best costumes and cruise the course. The best costume and bike combination even wins a prize.
And remember, regular massages can help you while you’re training for these events. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), massage acts to improve performance, reduce pain, prevent injury, encourage focus and shorten recovery time. So let us help you train for whatever event you decide to tackle.

This moist bread has been in the family for as long as I can remember. I like it because it's easily thrown together in one bowl and very moist -- perfect for a snack at work or school!
