I would love to run in a race again. Unfortunately, I have bone spurs.
They would also have to classify me as a Covid fatality at about the 1k mark.
I've been listening to Ozzy all morning. I'm getting inspired. I'll start training tomorrow. I'm going to have Henes come up to cancel out McKenna though.

I think you can have your bone spurs removed the first week of November.
McKenna might have started training again, just for this opportunity.

It has been officially canceled
COLUMBUS, Ohio – With the health and safety of everyone involved as the top concern and due to the large size of the event, the Ohio High School Athletic Association Early Season Cross Country Invitational, scheduled for August 15 at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park in Southeast Columbus, has been cancelled. The OHSAA’s decision was made Wednesday.
“We are very disappointed that the event is cancelled and understand that there will be frustrations from our student-athletes, but we have to put safety first,” said Bob Goldring, OHSAA Interim Executive Director. “We are meticulously moving forward with reopening our seasons for competition and appreciate the guidance of the Governor’s Office and the Ohio Department of Health. We also appreciate the cooperation of Fortress Obetz and we look forward to conducting our state championships there November 7.”
Sparked by additional interest from many schools since the course is the new home of the OHSAA cross country state championships, the OHSAA began putting schools on the wait list in mid-July and adjusted the schedule, race formats and the number of runners in each race in the hopes of providing the opportunity to participate to more schools. A decision had not yet been made regarding spectators.
Cross country events can still proceed around the state beginning August 24, as the sport of cross country has been designated as a low-contact sport by the Governor’s Office and the Ohio Department of Health. The OHSAA currently recommends smaller cross country events be held.

Lookout Psycho_dad. . The last guy that complained of bone spurs became the leader of the free world. And in the words of Richie Butler my former CPD SWAT Unit member. When ever things would go wrong which was often. He would scream “that’s BULLLSHI######.

Three of the meets on our schedule are cancelled. Many other schools must be in the same boat.
Where are we all going to fit in? Or will the schools not having sports be enough compensation.?
Meet directors will have a tougher job than usual this fall.
