So this is the bye week of the Indoor Mile Series. Time to put in a hard workout. And we’re far enough from the Christmas break that most of the cholesterol has been blown out as blue smoke in three weeks of running the engine. Jim Myers, Lance Bland, Judd Michael, Marty Klanchar, Ken Davis, Mark Fedkin, Meira Minard, John Pringle, Michael Goldfine, Andy Maguire, Mike Renz, Mike Martin, Adam Ilgen, David Lloyd, and Marty Mazur were ready for action.
 
Bwana’s Bye Week Workout is 3-4-4-3: Run 3 laps in lane 5 at about your mile race pace. Take 2 laps rest, then run 4 laps at the same per-lap pace. After 2 more laps, move it out to lane 6, where you’ll go about 7 yards farther per lap and try to do it in the same per-lap pace. So try to get your 4 lapper in lane 6 done in the same time as the one in lane 5. After 2 more laps rest, do a 3 lapper in lane 6 pulling out all the stops, especially on the last lap.

There are still 2 more meets in the Indoor Mile Series. What do we have to look forward to? I’ve heard rumors that Dan Pszeniczny, a Masterrs runner who came in second in the fast heat two weeks ago in 4:32, thinks he may be able to go sub-4:20. That would get him our Indoor Mile Series Men’s Masters Record, currently at 4:24. We hope to see a return of our women’s open record holder, Megan Marshall (4:57). And Meira Minard, our Women’s Masters Mile record holder (5:37) may take a stab at the 3K Women’s Masters record. Lots of possibilities. And even if you don’t have a record in you, you still have lots of possibilities, too!
