It was drab and cool as Tom Cali, Martha Nelson, Lance Bland, Ken Davis, Greg Dillon, John Sheakoski, Jim Moore, George Lesieutre, Jonathan Thurley, Michael Goldfine, Dave Mengle, Dana Todd, Jon Oatley, Jim Laudermilch, Rich Harter, Adam Smith, Matt Degges, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur headed for the track.

It was the last "workout" before mOUnTaiNBACK for most present. So for them, it was just a matter of doing something easy to stay loose. Bwana left it up to the Crew what they'd do. A few quarters was probably the most strenuous thing anyone did. 

The workout was also an opportunity for some last minute in-person trash talking. Martha Nelson managed to trash both the guys and the gals. First, by asking the question Bwana asks seemingly every week these days: "Where are all the women?!" That's diss enough on the ladies. But then Martha looks at Tom spitting on the ground, grinding it into the track, and then proceeding to tell some off-color joke, and basically says "No wonder!" Bwana's take: OK, so was Thursday Track EVER a nice clean playground for the pink pony-tailed princesses? And who exactly was it that introduced at least half of our most locker-roomy traditions? Like the "Martha Mile"? Ladies: You've been called out!
