Closing in on the last Thursday Track workout of the Summer, Summer decided to make a comeback. It was warm and humid as Tom Cali, John Domico, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Bob Cornwall, Ken Davis, George Lesieutre, Michael Goldfine, Kevin Becker, Jon Thurley, Mike Renz, Will Smith, Jake Clements, Jason Aylgettisname Neckstime, Rich Harter, Katerine Mieux, and Marty Mazur headed for the track. Thankfully, through most of the workout, the partly cloudy conditions favored us with some intermittent shade.

Bwana was sporting his new shades (well, lenses, anyway – the frames are old) as he gave today’s workout. On Bob Cornwall’s suggestion, in keeping with the “medium-hot” conditions, Bwana gave “something medium”: 4X600 at 5K+ pace. Those who weren’t planning on running at Tussey in the evening were encouraged to tack on one or two more, though Bwana wasn’t keeping count.

A break in the weather is on tap for this weekend. Could this be the start of true Fall weather? Bwana thinks the oscillations will continue, though with a “temperature damping effect” that will become more pronounced as October nears. These are the Medium Days of Autochthonous American Summer. Time to start taking advantage of the coming cool days before the winds of November blow through Track Hollow!
