School’s in. A few people are on vacation, soaking in the last bit of Summer, but mostly are getting ready for the year’s routine. And mOUnTaiNBACK! It felt like September, sunny and mild, as Tom Cali, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Costas Maranas, Michael Goldfine, John Wilcock, Mark Lee, Mike Renz, Mike Martin, Andy Maguire, Allison Machnicki, Tim Bracken, Dana Todd, Jim Laudermilch, Adam Ilgen, David Lloyd, and Marty Mazur headed for the track. Many of these runners would be doing two-a-days with the evening mOUnTaiNBACK training run to “simulate” the second Leg. How does your body recover? You’ll need to know for the relay...

With the cool weather, Bwana decided to do a boring, long-rep workout: 3X1000. The 1Ks were to be done at about 10K race pace (or a little faster), so a little slow feeling. But that’s a long rep, and the rest was only 400m, so the stress builds up. Can the last rep be as good as the first? That’s the goal! Give it all you can on the last one.

Jim Myers…his name came up. Lance said I was supposed to give him heck for not being at track. Jim’s new knee is still twitchy, but he’s on the primo sub list for the DCR. Make a showing, Jim!
