Thursday likes being the warmest day of the week, and it did not disappoint this week as John Domico, Bob Cornwall, Randy Jepson, Lance Bland, Ken Davis, Andy Maguire, Dana Todd, Kirk Rager, Andrew Webb, Jon Thurley, Mark Dent, Jake Clements, Rich Harter, Kevin Becker, Will Smith, Esther Prins, Jaimie Wright, Ekaterina Korova, Torrie Raish, and Marty Mazur headed for the track under sunny skies with temperatures in the mid-70s.

Bwana gave the assembled multitude a choice: they could either run 600s or they could run 600s. The choice involved whether to run straight 600s (4X600) at 5K+ pace, or the “fortitude workout”: 4X(400-200) where each 400 would be run a little faster than you’d run a 600, then a 100m rest, then a hard 200. Most chose the latter, and admirably so.

Next week’s workout is the last Thursday Track of summer. While we hope that Thursday will continue to be the warmest day of the week, we will have to move indoors at some point. But, let’s not hurry that. We’ve still got a month or two of Autochthonous American Summer!
