Weather

As I was running in the beautiful sunshine at lunchtime yesterday (instead of posting something here, oops), I was thinking how nice it will be when we have a day like that for one of our workouts. In the meantime, we'll have to slog through, and realize that it will a) make us tougher, and b) have us prepared for any early-season meets in less than ideal conditions.

For example, since our first dual meet is two weeks from today (wow, that soon?), AccuWeather now has that day's weather included in their 15-day outlook. And what do they say? Hi of 41 and periods of rain. Enough rain to cancel the meet? Or just the pole vault? Hi of 41 will drop to what, by the time the 3000/3200 and 4x800 relays roll around?

Anyway, this is just another reminder to be prepared for changing weather conditions. At this time of year, it is not uncommon for temperatures to swing by 20 degrees in relatively short order. You may leave for school in a t-shirt in the morning, but that doesn't mean you won't necessarily need water-resistant sweats, a hat and gloves for practice in the afternoon.
