It was back to work this morning for the team's long run -- with the remnants of the storm named Harvey dumping some decent rain on the area. Glad we missed this drenching by a day -- would have put a literal damper on the home meet at the Farm yesterday. Everyone got their work and their miles in today. A note to our athletes, who have soaking wet running sneakers that need to be dried out before their next run: In the past, the best way I've dried out wet sneakers is by stuffing them with crumpled up newspapers. Of course ... to this generation of athletes, "newspapers" -- you know, the actual Print Product -- may seem as foreign to them as rotary dial phones (heck, to ANY land line phone!). So I guess the next best idea would be balled up paper towels? I found newspapers always worked best.
In other news! One of our highest mileage runners, sophomore Christopher Rivas, for some odd reason HATES running in the rain. When I say HATES running in the rain ... I mean it. Rivas did NOT run outside today. Rather, he did a mind-numbing 14 miles on the treadmill, which he had to reset after an hour. You can see the proof on his watch. Fortunately, this rainy weather is short lived -- tomorrow is supposed to be very nice.
