Note From FM Coach Bill Aris:

On Friday August 21 in a NYC hospital, Alex Hatz of Fayetteville-Manlius underwent a surgical procedure to correct a defect involving the connective 'plumbing' to one of his kidneys. The procedure was completed successfully and without complication. Alex was in good spirits Friday evening and resting in his hospital room.

He will spend a few days in the NYC hospital recuperating, followed by a few weeks of 'taking it easy' back home in Manlius. A complete recovery is expected, followed by a gradual return to normal activities, including running, which he expects to commence by late September.

At Alex and his family request, please direct any communications and/or request for further detail of Alex's situation to my e-mail address:  wjaris@yahoo.com  as Alex will be relaxing and recovering in the near term.

TullyRunners wishes Alex Hatz a speedy recovery! ... and thanks Coach Aris for allowing his message to be posted ... During a phone call, Coach Aris noted that Alex wants to return to help his team for the championship races ... Alex Hatz is a true Stotan (but we all knew that) ... His return to running will be gradual.
