no relief in sight

Less than two weeks to go before everyone returns to campus and all across the country the extreme summer conditions are unrelenting. Congrats to all on the job you've done in getting your running in and working around the heat and humidity. Eventually you will feel the hint of fall in the air, but not yet. Press on!

I apologize for no email being sent with important dates. Maybe early next week. Just know that freshmen can move in at no extra charge on Thursday, August 19th...and should plan to do so. Upperclassmen should move in as early as possible on Friday, August 20th and everyone should be at the Cross Country Compliance Meeting on Friday, August 20th at 4:00PM. Upperclassmen living in campus housing will incur a $65 charge for moving in a day early, and I will arrange for a $65 credit to hit your bursar's account.

We will then have a Cross Country team meeting either Friday or Saturday and physicals will be on Sunday. Freshmen physicals will be early Sunday, and upperclassmen will be late morning. Of course, classes begin on Monday, August 23rd and we will have our first official practice that day.

Post your running to the comments, a few of you need to catch up a couple of weeks.

See you soon!

    My long run was probably the best I've had all summer because we had a random cooler day with not as much humidity!! Wish it was like that everyday...Hope you're all doing well, and can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!!

  18. Love the video, Phil. He's the perfect Georgia Tech student. Skinny asian kid, awkward jokes and silences, computer science major. He even gave humans vs. zombies his awesome point for the day. (My awesome point would have gone to the club with the solar-powered car)

  24. 43. Couldn't put together a single good run last week I'm not sure what was up. I'm working on getting extra sleep and eating better. I guess it's been working because this week has been better.

  25. Hey, sorry for the no posting the last couple of weeks. I was about traveling and didn't have much computer access. Anyway, for the week of July 24-30 I ran 55 no problem. Started to develop a sinus infection, which ended up getting really bad (awful b/c `I was on vacation as well arg) and only managed to get in about 2/3 miles a day for a few days-- so total for July31-Aug6 was 36 miles total (quite a bit under). This week I didn't start feeling like I could really run and breath again till like Tuesday. Unfortunately I didnt have any medicine with me and couldnt really go see a doctor very easily, so it took my body some time to fight it off! Hope everyone is well. The heats going to kill me after this cool summer I've gotten used to!
