Thanks Gordon. Tanner has already been running with Dave. We paid extra for
him to get a Gortex cast so that it is waterproof and can handle a sweaty arm,
although he says it's already starting to smell! He will start running with the
Mason High School cross country team on Monday. The bigger issue for him is the
2 basketball camps he is signed up to go to. He will still go, but with limited
ability.

I'm sure you'll see him running in the neighborhood - look for the green cast!

Amy, I am so sorry. That is the first timn we have ever had a serious accident
while on the track. I feel guilty be cause I almost called you last night to
see how Tanner was doing, but I put it off until it was too late (you will
probablyin the EM though). What a blow to his summer vacation. And from my
with blinders running viewpoint, what a blow to his training.
Maybe we can make up for it by helping him get into improved running condition
when he recovers. Is he allowed to....or want to....run with his arm in a cast?
Last night was biggest group we ever had. We were discussing Tanner collision
after the workout and it was pointed out that having to cross over to the other
side invited runners to both start and stop in the inner lane. With this big a
group we will be considering not using a 220 or 660 repeart anymore.
Give Tanner our regards that we are hoping for successful and swift healing.

Tanner was starting the second lap of one of his 800's when a man stopped
directly in front of him in lane 1. Tanner didn't have time to stop or move out
into lane 2 and ended up being tripped up by the man and falling on the track.
He finished the workout, but we spent that night in Urgent Care finding out that
his wrist is broken. It was an unfortunate accident that will have Tanner in a
cast for much of the summer.

Thanks for all you do for the club, I'm sure we will be back this summer to
another workout

Hi Gordon,

Just wanted to let you know that Tanner broke his arm at the track workout
Tuesday night. I thought you may be able to remind the runners that they
shouldn't stop in lane 1 of the track during the workout, but instead step off
into the infield before stopping.
