Bracing for Sandy

The big storm is almost here. Based in the forecasts I am hearing and reading for Poughkeepsie, it will be bad. But I think it will be MUCH WORSE to the south and east of us. Specifically: Jersey Shore, New York City, Long Island. Since many people that we know and love live in those areas, we are hoping for the best-case scenario of minimal damage.

In terms of our team's cross country training for this week ... it seems the primary impact will be on what potentially would have been a Tuesday workout. It is virtually certain that will not happen -- unless you happen to be in Disney and Florida still! Today's distance run will probably be limited to campus loops for safety reasons. Tuesday looks bad, but we'll see. By Wednesday, things should be back to normal, pending storm damage. We will take it day-to-day.

Marist has canceled classes for Monday; my guess is Tuesday will be canceled as well. We'll take this thing hour by hour, day by day. We hope to have our Florida-based team back with us soon. And we stress to everyone to be safe out there.
