Delay the Cowtown Marathon?

Did I read that officials might consider delaying the Cowtown because of a little hail? One would think that they are not runners. If you've never run the 26+ miles, you don't know that a little hail is not a big deal. Your whole body is screaming after a couple of hours. You feet and legs are rebelling, your insides are churning, your brain will tell you death is around the next corner. A little hail? Forget it! Marathoners will find it no big deal.

I ran the race in 2005. (Yes! I did finish in a respectable time) It rained lightly most of the time. A little hail would have been a welcome distraction, I think. Anything to get my mind off those remaining 24 miles!
