Bwana can't be everywhere at once, but he has eyes and ears everywhere. On the first day of a nice January thaw, Jim Myers, Tom Cali, John Domico, Bob Jones, Lance Bland, Jim Moore, Tara Murray, Marty Klanchar,  George Lesieutre, Brett Michaud, Michael Goldfine, newcomers Cm April (Bwana didn't just tumble off a turnip truck, but he's never met anyone before named for a musical chord) and Josh Valentine, Dave DeGroote, and Marty Mazur headed to the outdoor track. Another group thought it was still not "thawy" enough and headed to the indoor track: Costas Maranas, Ron Cunfer, Mark Fedkin, Greg Dillon. Jim Laudermilch, Jessica Wekke, Rich Harter, and a female newcomer (Bwana is working on the telepathy thing and will get back with a name shortly). And Meria Minard, Dave Moore, Tim Spigelmyer, Mike Weyandt, and Matt Soccio, did a non-track workout, but at least touched base at the track (Bwana has standards, low as they may be.)

The outdoor group did NX800 (for most, N was 4) with a stiff breeze on the back stretch. A nice preview of what March will be like when we move outdoors for the year. The indoor crew was rudderless without Bwana (who is working on telegraphing his workouts). Some did sets of 200s, some did sets of 800s. And the non-track splinter group was obviously working hard...thinking about llamas and German rabbit dishes. (Bwana isn't Google, but knows how to use it: Hassenpfeffer!)

But despite there being a group for just about everyone today, there were some who chose to be in their own group. Lee Culver was in the "I need to cross-train so I think I'll do it on Thursday" group. Lee: Track *is* cross-training.  John Wilcock was in the Run-a-holics Recovery Group with his Goofy pals. Miles Smith is in the New Marvel Superheros group. His new name: Lead Man (and, no, that first word does not rhyme with "feed"). Julie Grubb headed up the "We're Too Good For The Track" group meeting. And Janet Jonson is the new point leader of the "I ALMOST Came To Track Today" group!
