Time slows down this time of year. The speed-dialed month of December is a distant memory along with Christmas. Groundhog Day, let alone Spring, seems eons away. The best you can do to keep you mind off the monotony is more monotony. Tom Cali, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Bob Cornwall, Michael Goldfine, Meira Minard, Jaimie Wright, Mike Casper, Randy Jepson, Mike Weyandt, Jon Thurley, Mike Martin, John Wilcock, Fred Wright, Dana Todd, Jim Laudermilch, David Lloyd, Ron Cunfer, Sara Noss, and Marty Mazur headed for the track to see if they could speed up time by running fast on the track. There they found that Tanya Rissmiller had already warmed up the track and dialed forward the clock.

Tom Cali looked like he already had Spring in his veins. He wanted to do some short relays. But Bwana’s Indoor Mile prep regimen was the order of the day. He knew Meirkat was there to train for Saturday’s challenge: to bring the Women’s Masters Indoor Mile Series record home. So Bwana would work the old girl hard, along with everyone else who would be running on Saturday. The workout: 3-4-4-3 laps at increasing mile race speed.The first pair, in lane 5 would set the pace. Keep your 3 lap pace going on the 4 lapper. The second pair is in lane 6, a longer run. But don’t let the time per lap increase! And put on a kick for the 3 lapper! Meira is more than ready for the mile, as are Jaimie, Dave, John W, Judd, Michael, Fred, and Bwana.

Always look on the bright side. The best part of right now is that after last week, 25 degrees feels warm. In a couple of weeks we’ll be breaking out our .22s to go after The Groundhog after he lets us down yet again. Something, anything to keep our minds off Winter, and looking forward to Spring!
