Paul Short Run: A soggy start to the day

We are about to board a dark bus headed for Lehigh University, and as I type this it is pouring rain outside. Somehow, through the years, I seem to remember it almost always rains for this particular early morning departure. Weird how these weather cycles work.

A quick check at the hourly weather forecast for Bethlehem, PA, shows that it is raining there now, but that the rain should stop mid-morning. The course will be wet, but it should not be saturated as in the past -- mostly because we haven't had any hurricanes lately. In past years, this race was preceded by hurricane-force rain and wind. So although it should be wet, it shouldn't be too bad. Doesn't matter. We'll spike up and see what happens.

For those interested in seeing how the Running Red Foxes will do today, results of the meet will be posted at www.paushortxcrun.com. I will post Marist results when I get back to campus in the late afternoon/early evening.
