The weather has been messing with us for a few weeks. Ever since Arts Fest, it can’t decide whether it wants to be summer or fall or the monsoon season in Bangla Desh. Tom Cali, Judd Michael, George Lesieutre, Costas Maranas, Michael Goldfine, Jake Clements, Mike Weyandt, Andy Maguire, Mike Zimmerman, Jaimie Wright, Dana Todd, Jim Laudermilch, David Lloyd, Tim Bracken, Adam Ilgen, Sara Noss, and Marty Mazur headed for the track under questionable skies.

Bwana decided to mess with the Crew with a workout he’s only given a couple of times (so that no one can get used to it): 3X(2X500). Run a 500 at around mile race pace. Take a short, 100 m jogging rest, then do another 500 at the same pace or better. A longer 500 m rest will get you back to the start for another rep. Do this 3 times. The workout is basically 3X1000 with each 1K cut in half and a short rest inserted. The odd distance and short break are done to mess with your pacing. Run those 5s hard and don’t worry about what you have left. See if you can get enough of it back after the breather to do another.

A couple of people were messing with themselves, doing this workout less than 2 days after the inaugural running of the revived Tuesday Evening Workout. Bwana remembers the last time we did the double weekly workouts 4 years ago. The first couple of weeks made for hard Thursday workouts! We hope to continue the Tuesday workouts into September, so quit messing around! Step up your game!
