The temperature was hovering around 40 and a hazy sun hung over Lance Bland, Ken Davis, Mike Casper, John Wilcock, Lee Culver, Ron Cunfer, Dave DeGroote, Andy Maguire, David Lloyd, Mark Fedkin, Kim Nelson, Aroline Hansen, Jaimie Wright, Kevin Becker, Christine Nairn, Jeff Welsh, Joel Niemann, and Marty Mazur as they headed for the track. Despite the mild weather, they went indoors because of some lingering snow on the outdoor track.

 

This year's Indoor Mile Series has produced some hot times, including a men's Club record 4:23 run last weekend. The Series is attracting runners of of all abilities, all taking advantage of the fast PSU track to make their personal goal times fall. Bwana is here to help, designing the Thursday workouts to push people along on their way. Today's workout was designed to help people find their mile pace: 3-4-4-3 laps at mile pace with a two lap rest between reps. In Lane 5, where workouts are run, 3 and 4 laps bracket the half-mile distance (about 3.5 laps). Run the reps at your mile goal pace. It might take you a few tries to find it. That's why we do a bunch.

 

Winter came on strong, but it has since let up a little. Will we have another mild winter after all? If all goes well, we could be outdoors again soon. But let's stop talking about it. Wouldn't want to jinx it!
