It was cool and blustery as Jim Myers, Ken Davis, Costas Maranas, John Sheakoski, Andrew Webb, Mark Fedkin, Michael Goldfine, Esther Prins, Mike Renz, Adam Smith, Rob Peterson, Dana Todd, and Marty Mazur headed for the track for the first post-mOUnTaiNBACK workout.

Everybody deserves a little recoup time after a hard race. But Bwana thought for sure there would be a few more at the track just to do some post-race trash talking. As it was, Rob couldn't pass up the kudos he knew he'd get. And Ken Davis got plaudits for being the "old guy" who had the best recovery from injury and a great mOUnTaiNBACK.

Bwana gave the old, old default standby: 400-800-800-400. This was the no-brainer first workout of Spring that we'd do back in the early 90s when Thursday Track first started.

Well, there is still some kick left in this year. A few more big local races are coming, including Tara's Bellefonte 5-Miler next month and the Nittany Valley Half-Marathon. I hope all of you that didn't make it today aren't starting on your Christmas eating season already!
