ice, ice baby

EDITED on Monday, Jan 10th due to inclement weather!

The first week of classes brings with it a nasty forecast for weather. Due to the uncertainty of weather for Monday, we will not meet for practice - just do your best to get your running in, along with some daily health activities such as stretching and rolling. If you're outside make sure you're being careful with any slippery conditions. A treadmill or the coliseum are options as well.
