My soaking wet boys of winter

Up late grading papers tonight, my cell phone buzzes with a three-part series of texts. Must be Schanz, I thought – he of book-length texts.

But alas, it was our old pal Walsh, who was doing a workout with our old pal Conor Shelley, who will be representing NYAC at Club Nationals this weekend.

Here’s what Walsh had to say.

Me to Conor tonight: “How cool do you think Pete would think this is, two of his guys, different generations, running fartlek at 4:30 pace in the December rain after each having worked 8 hours today?

Conor to me (Walsh): Awesome. Man. Wait. You know, I think this is the first workout you and I have ever done together! High five!

Nicely done.
