I'm heading over there right now(OCC track) to see the set up, will report back early this afternoon.  Been trying to reach coach Fier all morning also, so far, no return call.  I'd suggest show up tonight ~6ish & warm up to be ready for some sort of fun pace work starting ~6:30p.

Yep, a sign posted in front of the gates says "Track closed 1-6 Jan.".  Was able to jog a few laps ~1:30p. at the same time the Orange Coast Track Team was using it.  Might have been able to run on it last night with out trouble but wisely decided to go across the street to the Fairgrounds instead.  The University of Alabama & or the NCAA, TV network paid to cancel last Sat. & Sun. Swap meet & paid to keep that whole part of the campus closed, even the parking lots, to keep folks away, even when their practice is over & they're back @ their hotel.  A little more to the story later, going for a run now,  

17 of us back on the OCC track, 3x10:00 @ ~20k race pace, starting every 12:00 on the buzzer.  Come on out & join the fun, a few have been meeting for a quick dinner after cool down, c ya ,  

Coach Fier did set up his lights & clock in the rain last night, 6 of us ran, 3x1600 or 3x1200 on 8:30, then 4x400 on 3:00.  With warm up & cool down nearly 9 miles, light rain, calm, nice & cool.  Charlie's group(OCTC)had only 3 runners.  Our determined few were DaveF, Jason, Andrew, Paul, Kyle & dp.  4x1600 & 4x400 scheduled for next Tu., may sprinkle again, show up & run anyway, ,

Lucky 13 of us out there last week.  Most did 10x500 on 3:00, lap jog, 5x300 on 3:00, jog lap, 5x300 on 3mins., then cool down.  Any guesses for tonight's intervals?

~15 in Group, most ran 16x400 on 3:00, @ :05 secs./mile pace slower than 5k race pace,

Due to strong winds & some scattered ran showers as late as 5p. a week ago Tu.(20th) we had a fairly small group of 9 or 10.  Last night an excellent group of 24 were out there hustling around the track.  Filtered into 1 of 4 groups after initial sprint, 6, 7, 8min/mi. pace, followed by a few ~9min+/mi.  Most of us ran between 24-32mins. at "tempo pace" which included up to 16 100m sprints @ the start of each lap(~4mi.), followed by an easy cool down & more jibber jabber from the coach.
