Everything’s Under Control Until It’s Not
The check list for the last week before the DE Running Festival Marathon (6/13) looked like this. Weather forecast: check (Actually darn good for mid-June). Injury report: check (i.e., everything under control). Taper: check (i.e., handled responsibly. Srsly! 8 and 4 miles that I ran 6 and 4 days out). But this last one wasn’t on the list. Actual race: uh, race?
Even during pandemic times who’s ever heard of a race getting cancelled 4 days before the event? Not the entire event, just one race from the festival of 5 total. Well, you heard it here. The organizers cancelled only the marathon because of inadequate traffic-control staffing and moved all the shorter events to the less populated 2nd half of the course. The alternatives offered are refund and conversion to the half marathon. This finely-conditioned running machine doesn’t like either option. So the working plan is to register for the half and just do the route again; a double-out-and-back race. Done 4, can do one again. That all could change, but just like the actual race, the decision-making process will take place one step at a time.

** NEWS ITEMS **
** Prof Sandy Was There **
Prof Sandy should’ve been on the attendance list for last week where she did a 10 miler. The stats have been updated, and the attendance taker will not receive his monthly bonus for May.
This omission was especially egregious in light of Sandy’s you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me route that included … Down Springfield, up Wise’s Mill, down Shawmont, up Shawmont, down Wise’s Mill, up Springfield.

If I can get better, why not?
--- Emil Zatopek, Czech runner, won 3 golds in the 1952 Olympics: 5K, 10K and marathon
Written on a T-shirt - here’s a few classics
1. Feet don’t fail me now.
2. I run, therefore I am.
3. Kiss my Asics!
At twenty miles I wanted to cry … I needed nourishment in the worst way and then I spotted a Dairy Queen across the street. Soft ice cream, the perfect food!
--- Richard Bellicchi, long-time mid-pack runner
