          I sure do respect all of you that live in cold weather. I am in Milwaukee to speak at the Wisconsin Track Coaches Association, it is 11 degrees right now with a whole bunch of snow on the ground. I will never complain again when my wife wants me to rake leaves in 75 degree weather, sure beats shoveling snow. It also explains all those Wisconsin license plates in Sarasota. Seriously I am looking fo

          I spoke at the WISTCA clinic last year and conditions were the same (unbelievably cold with quite a bit of snow) and I would still rank it as one of the most enjoyable clinics I’ve ever done. The coaches (many of whom I still correspond with) there were genuinely interested and attendance was VERY high.

          Welcome to my world. I train in Kenosha which is about 45 min away from Milwaukee. 14in of snow last Wednesday. Cold all day everyday the last 2 weeks and the weather normally doesn’t break until late April or early May. This sucks for a track athlete, especially a speed power athlete. This morning on my way to work -3 with the wind chill. Some of you in the world don’t know what the wind chill is, let alone feel it. MAN UP!!! It will be ok. 😉

          I respect you but I do not envy you.

          Oddly, I’ve had trained a disproportionate number of athletes via correspondence from WI. Also, I had the great displeasure of growing up with Buffalo winters so I know what -25 degree wind chills feel like but I’m glad to say I don’t know (and never want to know) what -50 degree wind chills feel like (can you still FEEL at that temperature anyhow?).

          Thanks for the respect it has not been easy, but I have made the best of my situations in the mid-west. The temps have not stopped the hard work and the production though. Hopefully they will carry over and pay off next week at the USA Championships.
