The rains held off and the pacing event was a success!
If you were there, your time for the mile will be available on Thursday to help you decide which of 8 pace groups you would best fit into. Look for the lists on one of the tables in the shelter.

Seems like only last week we had forgotten what rain was. Now, the slow-moving weather system has caused us to think about what happens to our plans when it rains.
Some of our most enjoyable runs are in the rain. The rain’s been so long in coming, we’re inclined to run around in it like little children.
So, for our policy: we generally run/walk, rain or shine; the exceptions: if there is lightening at our venue when schedule to start, or if there is reliable prediction of stormy weather (hail, lightening, wind, etc) headed toward our venue…then we will likely call the session off. Otherwise we enjoy running in the rain.
The pacing session for tonight (5/27) is another possible exception: it involves having some electronics on site and some papers and pencils. None of those things handle rain well. So, today’s rains MAY effect our evening session.
Best thing to say for now (3:30pm): plan to be there (Claremore High School Track); If it is actively raining at 6:00 pm we may may call it off, or hold off for awhile if it looks like it will stop raining. But for the timers and records to be kept dry it looks like a wonderful day for a run/walk.
TRAIN FUN!
Training should be continuous. Even though we just finished the Spring Session, Summer is ready to go.

The fitness sessions for Thursday, May 2, 2013 have been cancelled do to sleet, rain, and bone-chilling, nose-numbing, skin-icing wind chill.
Too bad we can’t bottle this weather and save some for Summer.
Stay warm and dry, all. Don’t forget to cover you tender plants, too.
