It was hot and steamy again, but that didn't keep the track birds, Jim Myers, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Randy Jepson, Kevin Becker, Esther Prins, Blake Cohen, Rich Harter, Jake Clements, Joel Niemann, Jaimie Wright, and Marty Mazur, from migrating. #dedicatedtwits. Even some of the shirkers, including Tom Cali, Martha Nelson, Mike Renz, Bob Cornwall, did a fly-by. #wheresmeira.

Pre-workout, the group was all atwitter about the Captain Choosing for the DCR. Pre-Draft intelligence has at least 4 Captain positions sewn up, with the remaining 3 (or 4?) up for grabs among half a dozen contenders. Bwana didn't want to spend the whole lunch hour pecking this to death. He ruffled some feathers by giving the NX3X300 workout: N sets of 3X300 with a short rest (100m) between each 300 in the set. Most runners did N=3 without much squawking. As the Trackers did their not-so-lazy circles, Bwana caught sight of a buzzard keeping station over the track. But, despite the heat, his services were not called on. #lifeisgood.

Bwana feels like crowing. While people aren't exactly flocking to the track, It looks like track attendance is on the upswing. With the end of summer vacation season approaching, and mOUnTaiNBACK and Fall marathon training about to rev up, we may see numbers in the 20s or more again. #hopespringseternal.
