Fall weather is officially here, with the first post-Labor Day track workout and the cooler breezes that greeted Tom Cali, Bob Cornwall, Jim Moore, George Lesieutre, Lance Bland, Mark Fedkin, Jonathan Thurley, Marv Hall, newcomer Rick Stehouwer, Esther Prins, Michael Goldfine, Joel Niemann, Kevin Becker, Jon Oatley, Matt Degges, Rich Harter, Matt Soccio, Dana Todd, and Marty Mazur as they headed to the track. John Domico followed their scent (usually no problem with Cali in the lead) arriving a little later.

Esther Prins was heaven sent, by herself keeping Bwana from renaming the Thursday Track Crew the He-Man Woman Hater's Club. Today's Girl in the Clubhouse is the only gal who has graced the track with her presence in the last three weeks. The other ladies are "withholding", but unlike Lysistrata and her sisters in Aristophanes's comedy, they're only hurting themselves, and their Tussey teammates.

Bwana isn't done with The Classics. In fact, he gave one, a classic workout, the Fortitude Workout: 4X(400-200). A great warm-up to a Tussey Discovery Run.

Bwana recommends deep reading of the Classics for some of his Crew who have been lax of late. Lee Culver, the valiant warrior, is looking to re-enact the demise of Agamemnon if he stays Homer so much from the track. But if he ventures out, he's sure not to run into Mark Traband's Trojan horses, since no one has seen Mark in weeks. Ron Cunfer's Achilles' Heel at the mOUnTaiNBACK will prove to be his lack of training. And the other gals who haven't been showing up? They're setting themselves up for a tragedy of Sophoclean proportions, I mean a real *mother* of a problem, at mOUnTaiNBACK!
