OK, so what the heck. It was raining. BARELY! Big deal! The weather was still just about perfect for a track workout; outside, or in if you couldn't stand to get wet. The indoor "weather" is still nice at the MSF. Not chokingly dry as it gets to be in February. Lance Bland, Jonathan Thurley, Michael Goldfine, Rich Harter, John Ake, Dana Todd, Joel Niemann, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur went inside. Marty Klanchar, Mark Traband, Marv Hall were splashing in the puddles outdoors.

The indoor Crew did one of Bwana's favorite pacing workouts: 3-4-4-3. Run 3 laps (about 640 m in lane 5) at your mile race pace, which might be slightly slower than what you'd do your quarters in. Then do 2X4 laps (~855 m each) at that same pace or faster. Two laps recovery between each run. Use the last 3 lapper to kill off the rest of your energy.

Track attendance is pretty low lately. You'd think there weren't several races coming up! If you're waiting for warm, dry, calm weather to come to the track, I guess you're going to be sitting around eating chicken pot pies and watching Mad Men reruns until May!
