It was decidedly unwinterlike, but not very springlike either as John Domico, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Mike Casper, George Lesieutre, Ken Davis, John Ake, Kevin Becker, Kirk Rager, Dana Todd, Monika Houston, Tony Huang, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur headed for the track. Though the sun wasn't very strong, the runners didn't want to risk seeing their shadows, so they went inside the Multi-Sport Facility. There, Jerry Steffy was just leaving after having warmed up the track.

Bwana couldn't decide whether he should call out a workout for the last winter Indoor Mile, or to start people working on their spring 5Ks. He split the difference and had them to a flat-topped pyramid: 3-4-4-3 laps at close to mile race pace. Bwana himself was undecided about how hard to run this workout, since he's running Saturday's mile race. So he ran half of it pretty hard and the other half not at all.

Quite a few of our erstwhile regulars seem to be holed up with Punxsy Phil these days. Bwana can't decide what to do about this. Maybe just leave a warning: You know all groundhogs you see on the roads with tire treads on them? They're the ones who didn't do track workouts over the winter!
