Weather or not

The first semester of outdoor training is officially over. We have gotten through the past several weeks relatively unscathed from the wrath of winter: No snow, no ice, no extreme cold. It’s a good thing!

As we continue to plunder through our first indoor track season without an indoor track facility to call home, weather will be a key obsession for us. Being a certified weather geek, this is not a problem. I am constantly analyzing weather Web sites, radars and long-range forecasts.

And although the team will be scattering hither and yon in the coming hours and days, that does not preclude me from taking a peek at the upcoming weather. Here’s the deal: Real winter weather still seems to be avoiding us. If you are a snow-sports enthusiast, this may disappoint.

For the rest of us, it is welcome news indeed. Winter can stay away this year, thank you very much.
