Snow day

Marist was closed today because of the winter storm. A closed college does not mean a closed practice. It's another day, which means another run or two is required.

However, I do have one hard-and-fast rule. If the roads are dangerous for motorists, they are extremely dangerous -- maybe deadly -- for schmoe runners like us. And so my rule on snow days is: If you must run outside, you do NOT leave campus.

Other than Keegan and McMullen -- who did repeats of Campus Mile -- everyone opted for the treadmill, laps in the fieldhouse, or some combination thereof. I went to check on the treadmill brigade, and there was Captain Keenan running 7:00 pace while wearing a winter hat and a long-sleeve running shirt. What gives? Trying to make weight there, buddy?

Anyway, the men and the women got in their tedious miles, as this winter trudges on.

We bring a limited squad down to Mets at the Armory Thursday night. Meet starts at 4, if any alums are in the area and interested ...

I've had a cold and was trying to sweat out the toxins, the hat only lasted 3 miles! Can't wait to crack the 400 in a matter of hours.

Good luck at Mets. All of your performances have been motivating for us (Sean and I) here in Virginia. Keep up the good work...you too Pete.
