God turned on the air conditioning for Day 2 of preseason at Minnewaska State Park Preserve in Ulster County. The clouds rolled in and there were even a few steady showers as our men and women embarked on the beautiful carriage trails in the Shawangunk Ridge. The "real feel" temperature had to be at least 30 degrees cooler than our first practice, less than 24 hours earlier. Such is the beauty of going into the hills of Ulster County. A special treat was literally running into Marist Running Alum Ned Kenyon (Class of 99), who drove up from Long Island with his nephew for a nice 9-miler in the woods.
Upon returning to campus, the sun broke through the clouds and summer resumed in full force for a hot afternoon of team photos in the gray gym and on South Field. Heavy rains are expected late tonight and tomorrow, which could hamper our practice schedule for Friday. Fortunately, the foul weather should clear out somewhat for the weekend's hard workout (Saturday) and long run (Sunday).
