Observer mourns loss of the "Meriter Nurses Run"---change the Date not the focus

Because of a series of years where the weather has been bad for the Meriter Nurses Run, hospital officials have decided to eliminate the event that had recently had about 1800 runners----instead they are going to focus on a little recognition of peers in the institution---HUH?

This run was always one of my favorites of the season, and was a celebration of nursing as well as health care itself----many of the employees in all of the hospitals and clinics in Madison used to run in it. I used to call it the "Runnin with the Nurses Run".

Change the date. Don't Delete the Event!!!!!! 1800 runners actually makes a more enjoyable event from the runner's perspective because one does not have to wait 5 minutes at the start line to get it going.
