Todd thanks for the update.  Since CCP course is submerged, I suggest that members consider running the old club course that starts in historic St. Charles.  The start is at the intersection of South Main Street and McDonough.  Following is a link to Google Maps that will show you the start location:  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=S+Main+St&daddr=&hl=en&geocode=FbqoTwIddFCb-g%3B&mra=ls&sll=38.816472,-90.51389&sspn=0.005684,0.009656&ie=UTF8&ll=38.77497,-90.48462&spn=0.002844,0.004828&z=18.  I will not be able to join you tomorrow morning.  Following is a link to USATF that will show you the course:   www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=246911.  It looks like tomorrow is going to be beautiful.  Enjoy your run!

just a heads up concerning Creve Coeur Lake - with all the recent 
rain, the trail is flooded in several places which makes it impossible 
to run any type of loop. I was up there today, and the trail between 
the soccer fields and the lake was flooded and impassible in the 
northern part, the trail about a mile east of the Sailboat Cove was 
flooded, and the part of the trail that runs under the Page Extension 
overpass was flooded as well. There may have been other parts that 
were flooded but those are the ones I personally ran into today. Also 
note that if you're traveling from the south, Creve Coeur Mill Road 
is closed at Water Works RD.

I wouldn't expect the situation to be any better by Saturday - perhaps 
other plans should be made for the Saturday morning run?
