Thursday Track before the Boston Marathon is usually pretty lightly attended, with many runners either tapering or on the road for the long weekend. But this week’s session saw another media blitz! A reporter and cameraman from the Centre Report came to the track today to talk to some of the marathoners about the recent Boston Marathon terrorist conviction as well as to learn about the Marathoners For Medicine’s fundraising for Centre Volunteers for Medicine. So Bwana made sure there would be a good turnout for them. Jim Myers, John Domico, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, George Lesieutre, Costas Maranas, Mike Casper, CJ Wagner, John Wilcock, Mark Lee, Dana Todd,  Jim Laudermilch, Dean Capone, Andy Maguire, Mike Martin, Mike Renz, Mike Zimmerman, Alex Wouden, Tony Kwaznica, Emily Fertig, Sara Noss, Allison Machnicki, Torrie Raish, Charlie Vassey, Rich Harter, Adam Ilgen, David Lloyd, and Marty Mazur all made it to the track.

While the reporter interviewed M4M coordinater Jaimie Wright and M4M founder John Domico, Bwana made sure tortured faces were part of the backdrop. The workout was a steep downward ladder, run in imperial units, and so in the outer lane of the track where runners would be going right by the camera. The ladder consisted of 1 Mile (at 5K+ race pace) – about 700 m rest – ½-Mile (at a faster clip) – about 100 m rest – ¼-Mile (at race kick pace).

Best wishes to all our Boston runners, and to all who are going to participate in Spring marathons and half-marathons for M4M.
