Winter training, part 2

Last Friday's practice scared the daylights out of me.

If there is one thing that I worry the most about, it's the fact that you guys run the risk of accidents every time you set foot off campus for a run. That anxiety is compounded when footing is treacherous for you and more importantly for the cars on the road.

And so, that surprise snow storm we had last Friday afternoon left me unawares. It wasn't in the forecast, thus I figured you guys would be fine running in it since it would pass. I was wrong about the storm passing. Luckily, everybody returned in one piece. Thank God.

The Luty Drive workout seemed to go well, by all accounts.

Moral of the story: When we get another day like that -- and you bet we will this winter -- no one goes off campus. It's either a fieldhouse run, or treadmill, or campus loops. The Marist campus is maintained for snow and ice perhaps better than any roads on Earth. So, you'll be safe here.
