Punxsy Phil saw his shadow, so the Track Crew are resigned to at least 6 more weeks at the MSF. But a good sized group braved the cold to make it: Tom Cali, John Domico, Lance Bland, Judd Michael, Ken Davis, Mike Casper, Mark Fedkin, Meira Minard, Carole Dudukovich, Jaimie Wright, Mike Martin, Andy Maguire, Mike Renz, Rob Peterson, Jeff Welsh, Alex Wouden, Scott Harford, Jeremy Frank, Adam Ilgen, David Lloyd, Dana Todd, and Marty Mazur were warmed up and ready for a workout.

Bwana gave an easy-to-remember but challenging workout: NX3 Laps with one lap rest between each rep. In Lane 5 where we usually do our reps, that’s about 680 meters per rep. For people running tomorrow’s final Indoor Mile, make N=2 and run them at just about mile race pace. For those not running at Friday’s meet, make N = 3,4, or more, and make them a bit slow: 5K race pace.

Next week we’ll get away from mile-oriented workouts, but who knows where that’ll take us? Bwana’s getting harder to predict. The last two Thursday’s he’s given first-ever workouts, and that’s after over 20 years of Thursday Track! Maybe the Crew can enlist Phil and see if he can predict what we’ll be running next week!
