Why, why, does it always rain on TRY?

Sometimes, weather just isn't fair. Sure, we weather it, whether we like it or not, but this is getting just plain silly. How is it that in the midst of near record nice weather in late March and early April that the third straight lousy weather Tuesday is hitting us? Oh well, it gives me an excuse for not getting my TRY roll-out in place for this week, since I doubt any non-hardcore members will make it out. (For my laziness with my updates, I blame Easters, crazy forlorn cousins, and having a cold...let's just say it's been a long few days.) I did make some more tweaks to the blog site and the biggest addition is that TRY is now a Tweeter! If anyone actually uses twitter (and cares) you can add "thereisatry" to the list of "people" you are following. I'm new to it myself, so I don't know quite what I'm doing, but I'll figure something out. I've also added a recent comments panel so we can more easily see what Ally is saying to herself in the comment sections of the posts.

Assuming it's not dangerous out (lightning or large dogs raining down) this week is the first official encouragement to do speed work. Plan for 4-5 1/4 mile intervals embedded inside of a 4 mile run. It's time to crank it up...speed work benefits all running abilities, so there is no [good] reason for anyone not to do it.

And since this is the "kick-off" week for TRY, I'm hoping some people will be able to head to The Retreat afterward for a little socialization. Assuming no one was hit by lightning, that is. (If someone has been hit by lightning we'll have to move our socialization to the local emergency room.)

Also, don't forget about the Syracuse Chiefs opening day celebration on Thursday. Weather looks iffy at this point, but maybe we'll get lucky?
