This will be my last post on this fancy blog for the better part of two weeks, as we depart soon for family vacation in Lake George.
As of last summer, the “rustic” cabin in which we stay was blissfully devoid of WiFi. And I certainly do not have Internet on my old-school flip cell phone. So, I will not be web browsing or blogging until I return.
If anyone needs to or cares to reach me, cell service is somewhat spotty in those hills ... but texting seems a bit more reliable than voice.
Given the nature of the school/fiscal year, this is sort of like the end of the year, with the “New Year” beginning upon return from the lake in July.
See you then …

Pre's Trail
Just got back from a great run on Pre’s Trail, quite possibly heaven on Earth when it comes to running and jogging.
Pre’s Trail is roughly four miles of the most gentle terrain and surface you will ever run on. It is covered with fine bark and mulch, a soft and forgiving running path. When you are done jogging on the trail, your sneakers and socks are covered with the sweet dust from the trail. It’s all good!
It is somewhat alarming to feel what a difference it is to run on such a forgiving surface. On the few times you go from the trail to pavement (or macadam, as old-timers like to say), you realize how hard pavement really is. And pavement is SOFT compared to cement sidewalks!
Although Pre’s Trail is not all that long, it’s good enough to get in a solid run. Oftentimes, you will see famous runners blitzing down the trail at breakneck speeds. But the trail is shared equally by world-class runners, schmoe joggers like me, dog walkers and even fishermen plying the waters of the Willamette River along the trail.
Good stuff.
And with that, I am blogging off from Motel 6 as we begin our long journey home.

Junior Nationals and the movies
It has been a fine tradition, since Phil and I took two athletes to Denton, Texas, back in 2000, that a good way to kill time in faraway places on these USATF Junior trips is to go to the movies.
Back in 2000, Phil and I took in a matinee in Denton (some Jim Carrey flick, I honestly do not remember) while waiting for our athletes to compete. That started it all.
Fast forward to 2008 in Columbus, where I had Vess, Webster and Keegan for probably the longest Junior Nationals trip since they were in three separate races on three separate days. Lots of time to kill, in a college town, in the middle of the summer.
We went to the movie theaters one afternoon and faced a dilemma. Well, it was no dilemma for the men I was with: They absolutely, no way/no how, did NOT want to see the new (at the time) “Sex and the City” movie. Me? I had never seen the show, but I was intrigued because several of my wife’s friends (yes, all female) had seen the new movie and had liked it. I figured what better time to check it out?
Oh boy. The battle lines were drawn, with the refrain coming from the men: “Pete. Come on! You can’t see it! You won’t see it.” Of course, I did see it, while they went to some manly movie. For the remainder of their wonderful college career they (well, Vess really) never, ever let me live that one little decision down.
Three years later, I guess I did not learn my lesson. Last night in Eugene, the three of us went to see another “chick flick’’ – this one called “Something Borrowed.” It was an endless tale of romance and we were all mostly relieved when it was over.
I do remember two years ago in Eugene going to the movies with Chuck, Flint and Kathryn Sheehan. I honestly do not remember what we saw.
The point is: On these trips, often there is much down time to kill. And movies make a good way to pass the endless hours in faraway places.

Gas lines
OK, I may be dating myself – check that, I KNOW I am dating myself – when I mention that I remember the “Gas Lines” and the “Oil Crisis” of the mid-1970s.
My memories are of sitting in long lines at gas stations on the even- or odd-numbered day (depending on which car we were in) with my older brothers. We would all bring homework while we waited to get our gas at the local Esso station. Wow. Now I’m REALLY dating myself!
Anyway, flashbacks to this time from my youth happened today as we were driving back to the Motel 6. Right near our fine motel, there is an Arco station, and the gas lines there are LONG. Why? They are selling gas for the relatively inexpensive $3.54 per gallon. That’s close to 30 cents less than most gas stations out here.
What’s the catch? Well, you can only pay by cash or debit card (no credit cards accepted!) at this station. I found that out the hard way this morning as I walked to the Arco station for my morning coffee and a newspaper.
Oh, and one other thing: Just like in my native New Jersey, pumping your own gas is not allowed here in Oregon. Full-time full-serve.
And, if you have enough cash and enough time on your hands, you can get your gas for cheap.

An old friend on the track
Despite the bummer of an outcome out here on the track, again it is a good thing to put the Marist name out here on a national stage.
As we walked into Hayward Field, donning our Marist gear, the security guy smiled and said, “Are the RED FOXES ready to run today, or what?” Pretty cool.
And then, as the guys were getting ready to check in, another coach called out to say hi. It was a major blast from the past to see Mario Wilson, a former Marist football star who ran track for us briefly before his graduation in 1998.
Since leaving Marist, Mario has forged quite a collegiate coaching career – with stops at St. Francis (Pa.), Bucknell, New Mexico and now Clemson. Check out his bio here to see the impressive credentials he has racked up during the past decade as a coach.
In addition, while he was at the PA schools, Mario taught himself how to pole vault, and vaulted his way over 16 feet! Very impressive.

0-for-2 in Oregon
Most of the posts on this fancy blog have positive spins to them. No such luck today, as we did not have a successful stay at all out here at the USATF Junior Championships in Oregon. Both of our athletes failed to finish the 25-lap 10,000-meter race.
--Isaiah Miller did not start, and it was a smart move. His left foot is hurting badly, with the likely diagnosis of a stress fracture. Running on it would have set him back much further than it already will.
--Nick Hughes started the race but did not finish. The early pace was perfect, but a sudden gear shift left Nick feeling hung out to dry, and he was having trouble breathing in the highly pollinated air (last night, in the senior 10k final, winner Galen Rupp actually wore an anti-allergy mask for much of the race!).
So we were 0-for-2 in a big way out here. It is too bad, but such is life. It is still a good experience for our program to have a presence at such a high caliber meet.

Brittany Burns earns another huge honor
Congrats to Brittany Burns, who was named second-team All-American for her academic/athletic prowess. This is a HUGE HONOR and we continue to be proud of Britt. Nicely done!!!!
Check the press release at this link …
Check the press release at this link …
Light is on for us ...
Greetings from Room 107 of the Motel 6 in Springfield, Oregon – we are within a stone’s throw from Interstate 5, which I can hear buzzing outside my room window. More importantly, we are a few miles from historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.
Nick Hughes and Isaiah Miller are in adjoining Room 108. As always seems to be the case in hotel stays, there is some discrepancy as to room temperature. I like it warm; they like it cold. For some reason, their A/C is blowing hot air and mine is blowing cold air. So no one is happy. But it’s getting better.
Why would I want hot air, you ask? Well, the weather is perfect for running out here – overcast and in the 60s. But a bit on the cool side for our usual summer weather. No one is complaining. It’s all good.
Our trip to Oregon was long but mostly uneventful.
After picking up Hughes and Isaiah and Nick’s house in Rockland County, we had a stressful, traffic-filled trip to JFK. Put it this way: Having to drive the entire length of the Cross Bronx Expressway is not recommended. That’s what we did. My oldest brother has called the Cross Bronx Distressway the “worst Interstate highway in America, perhaps the world.” I would have to concur.
Factor in two bridge crossings (GW and Throgs Neck), various traffic delays for bad weather, bad driving and bad roads … and the short drive was long and stressful. Anyway, our Jet Blue flight was delayed due to weather in the area. And it is a looooong flight … six-plus hours.
By the time we checked in to the hotel in Portland last night, it was the equivalent of 4:47 a.m. back East. Of course, we got lost driving from the airport to the airport hotel. I was wondering why, as I checked my email in the Portland hotel room, I felt wide awake. Well, 4:47 a.m. is pretty close to the time I wake up every morning to get ready to meet my friends for jogging. Not quite, but close enough.
Suffice it to say, I did not meet my friends for jogging. We got some much-needed sleep before the two-plus hour drive south to Eugene this morning/afternoon.
Our boys race at 9:30 a.m. local time. Isaiah is nursing a foot injury and is currently questionable to go. He wants to try, but we’ll see. Hughes did his pre-meet run and strides and is good to go.
We plan on staying at Hayward Field for a few hours after our race to check out other Northeast-area friends who are racing. I will update the blog from the hotel at some point later in the afternoon or evening.

On the road again ... to USA Juniors
In what has been a nice, late spring/early summer tradition, we are off to Oregon on late Wednesday for the USATF Junior Championships at historic Hayward Field.
This year, we have two men qualified and set to run in the 10,000 meters – Isaiah Miller and Nick Hughes. Isaiah and Nick qualified for the event at UMass earlier this spring. Isaiah ran 32:44.15 and Nick ran 32:45.14. The qualifying standard is 32:45.00, but we appealed Nick’s time to get in and the waiver was granted. 00:00.14 over the course of a 25-lap race is quicker than the blink of an eyelash, and we are grateful his appeal was granted.
Our guys race at 9:30 a.m. on Friday (Pacific time). I will travel with my laptop and will try to keep the blog updated from Eugene. We are staying at a Motel 6 on the outskirts of town, and I’m not sure if I will have Internet at that fine place of lodging. Hopefully, I will. If not, I am certain I can find some WiFi (hopefully accompanied by COFFEE) somewhere in the vicinity.
For those interested in program lore, the 10,000 is the event in which we have had the most qualifiers for this meet in school history. Below is a list of qualifiers and the years they qualified.
It is important to note that we have had several freshmen athletes whose times would have qualified them for this meet, but they did not qualify to compete based on age – you cannot turn 20 in the year of the championship. In two recent examples on our men’s team, Will Griffin and Kenny Walshak both easily qualified for this meet based on times. But because both men were born in December, they missed the age cutoff by a matter of weeks. The same was true many years ago with Kirk Dornton and more recently with David Raucci. I am certain there are other examples that I am forgetting ...
Anyway, here are two lists for you. One is a list of qualifiers in the men’s 10,000-meter run. The other is a list of all other USATF Junior qualifiers through the years.

Free baseball
Most readers of this fancy blog know that I am a huge baseball fan. My team of preference is the New York Yankees. But truth be told, if there is a baseball game -- any baseball game -- available to watch, I'm in heaven.
Case in point: This past Tuesday, on an unseasonably chilly night, my son Joey and I went to the Hyde Park Little League fields to watch the championship game of the league. His team was eliminated from the playoffs, but he wanted to check out the game because he had friends playing and watching. I was glad to oblige, and it was a great game! (Side note: I will admit that I parked my car strategically in a spot so that I could watch the game from the front seat of my car, in the warmth, while listening to NY Yankees pregame on the radio).
Fast-forward to Thursday: Thanks to the generosity of the parents of several graduated seniors, my old pal and coaching partner Phil Kelly and I went to the Big Ballyard in the Bronx to watch the Yankees play the Texas Rangers. It was a great game, and it went 12 innings. Free baseball! The Yankees won on a walk-off hit by Brett Gardner.
We took the train from Poughkeepsie right to the Stadium. It was warm and humid, great baseball weather, and we had a wonderful day in Section 315.
I had had this date circled on my calendar for months as the day that Derek Jeter would get hit number 3,000. He is on the DL, so that didn't quite work out. But again, there was green grass, sunshine, hot dogs and beverages -- all shared with a great friend. All is good.
Thanks again to my senior families, whom I will miss greatly. The gift will keep on giving, as future trips to the Stadium are in the works for later this summer.

Happy Flag Day
Today is Flag Day, one of my favorite mid-week holidays of sorts. Many of you know that I often fly one of those window flags on my sticker-laden Subaru Forester. I've always been a big fan of our flag.
Perhaps it stems to my youth, when Field Day at our elementary school was always held on or near Flag Day. Field Day was Fun Day, because it meant we were outside and not in some overheated and stuffy classroom.
Perhaps the true meaning of Flag Day can be captured by this Johnny Cash song called "Ragged Old Flag." Click here to listen and see. Hope you enjoy it.

Team summer barbecue: July 23
As we did last summer, we are planning a midsummer team barbecue at the Boathouse along the Hudson River. No date will work for everyone, so I apologize in advance if this date does not work:
Saturday, July 23
More details to follow in the coming weeks. It will be very informal for a few hours in the middle of the afternoon. All team members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Bring friends. Bring alums! If you are reading this and are interested in attending, come on down!
Speaking of alums and barbecues along the Hudson River ... save the date of Saturday, Sept. 10 for the Red Fox Trot 5K. We want a BIG ALUMNI TURNOUT for the run this year. Afterwards, we will have an informal barbecue with team members along the Hudson River.
For those interested, new Marist Alumni Racing Team singlets will be available later in the summer. I only ordered 30 of them, sorry. 2011 alums get first dibs. The order was already made, I ordered mostly smalls and mediums as Nike (yes, Geist, NIKE!) tends to run big. I did order one XL ... for me. I tend to run big. But hey, at least I still run!
Email or text me with your MART singlet requests ... again, if you already have one or two, you can request a new one ... but priority goes to those who have never gotten one.
Also, a programming note: June is probably the lightest month in terms of blog posts. Well, July too, when I am on vacation. So if there are gaps, there are gaps. Next week is USA Juniors, so we'll be doing a few off that trip ...

Midsummer BROfest
My office was filled with men’s cross country athletes this afternoon – a very pleasant and welcome surprise for June 8, when our students are usually scarce on our campus.
It was great to see the following men: Team captain Brian Townsend (in town for orientation leadership), Chris Reynolds and Kyle Havard (in town for the summer) and Kenny Walshak (in town because he was bored with doing nothing in lovely Long Island).
These BROs got a sneak preview of our new Nike uniforms (general consensus: SWEET) and our new Nike backpacks. No worries … despite numerous ovations for me to hand out the gear to them (especially from Reynolds), I did not.
The summer is a great time to take a break from the grind of the team, but I also do miss the daily interaction with student-athletes. This was a nice surprise.
Regarding the post title: Well OK. It’s not midsummer. It just feels like it.

Heat
Just got this text from incoming freshman Mohamed Eid of Ridgewood, NJ:
"99 degrees. Cloudless. I think I'm gonna run before school from now on."
Yes. Good idea.
This midsummer-like heat is tough.
Again, as a reminder, avoid the heat of the day. For your safety and your sanity.

The son also rises ...
As I was cooling down from Saturday’s Bill Crusie Memorial 5K in Wappingers Falls on Saturday with the race winner – our very own Billy “Fresh Prince of Wappingers Falls” Hild – a local runner saw us and stopped me. She was stunned! Oh my, she wondered, is that your SON? Has he grown THAT FAST!
Well, no. Billy’s not my son – although the confusion can be somewhat understandable. It made for a good laugh, as my oldest son Joey has several inches and a lot of facial hair – not to mention a few minutes per mile – before he catches up to Billy.
So yeah, that made for a good laugh. This, however, did not: When I first spotted Mr. Fresh, at about 7:50 a.m., as I was jogging my warmup, he greeted me with his usual dour glance and the standard “Oh, hello” greeting. I immediately sensed no urgency in him, which mean that he – like several others – thought the race was beginning at 8:30 a.m., instead of 8 a.m. Oops. No warmup for him!
That’s OK. Fresh bolted downhill in 5:02 for the first mile (not recommended by me) and hung tough for a nice victory.

Awesome honor for Brittany Burns
Check out the following link to a story on www.goredfoxes.com about grad student Brittany Burns. This is the third year Britt has been named First Team Academic All District.
The competition to be selected for this honor is fierce, and it's amazing and truly noteworthy that Britt earned it three years in a row. To say we are proud of her would be the understatement of the year.
Britt just completed her eligibility for us, after 5 wonderful years. She will be missed. And now, she will go down as one of the most prolific student-athletes in Marist history.
Final note: Special thanks to my good pal, Sports Information Director Mike Ferraro, for doing the legwork required to nominate Britt for this honor. Mike and his staff do an amazing job promoting all sports teams at Marist.

Midday madness
Yesterday as I was trying to get a little work done at the McCann Center, I was confronted by two very sweaty young men -- Reynolds and Big Man Moss, both of whom will be in Poughkeepsie all summer working and training.
This was right around noontime, on one of these brutally hot days (note: cold front coming in later!). They were soaked in sweat after a 7-mile run. Well, OF COURSE they were soaked in sweat after a 7-mile run -- in the middle of the day, with high heat.
Note to all: Now that summer weather is here to stay, PLEASE try to avoid the midday period for your main runs. When I say "midday period," I am talking anywhere between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Try to run early (before 9 a.m.) or late (after 7 p.m.). Early is better, in terms of temperature. But late is OK as the relentless sun is not as big an issue -- although heat and humidity can remain high at that time.
It will be great to have Chris and Joel around for the summer, as we hope to be frequent aqua-jogging partners with them as our schedules permit.
As always: Run. Rehydrate. Run Some More. But not in the middle of the day!

Spring Lake 5
Congrats to Marist Running alum Mike Rolek, who WON the Spring Lake 5-mile race in Spring Lake, NJ, on Saturday. Rolek was first among 8,165 finishers in 25:19. Nicely done!
Senior Ryan Brown was there cheering Rolek on. Well, actually, Brownie was there cheering on his dad, Dennis Brown, who had a strong finish himself in 45:24. Nicely done, Mr. Brown!
Most recent Marist alum Sam McMullen reported an outstanding effort from the Rahway (NJ) 5k on Memorial Day, but I am still trying to track down official results. Unofficially, via text, Sam said he was second in 15:18 -- but he said the race veered off course and it was quite possibly a sub-15:00 effort. Great stuff!
