It was pushing 60 as Tom Cali, John Domico, Jim Myers, Bob Cornwall, Jim Moore, Lance Bland, Judd Michael, Ken Davis, Mike Casper, Costas Maranas, John Sheakoski, Mike Renz, Andy Maguire, Jon Oately, Tara Murray, Bree Studenka, Dana Todd, Kirk Rager, newcomer Jill, Michael Goldfine, Lee Culver, Ron Cunfer, Mark Lee, John Wilcock, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur headed for the track.
It was one of those days when it was just fun to be alive. And outside! Sixty degrees in February! Not THAT unusual, but especially welcome after 6 weeks of sub-40 weather. Bwana welcomed a newcomer Jill, who was convinced to come along by Dana and Kirk. Bwana called out the 3X1K workout, which everyone thought was a fine idea. Well, everyone except Tara, who wasn't coming in all the way from Bellefonte for a measly 3K run. She and Bree doubled down and ended up doing 6X1K, plus a 3X200 topper! Later Joel Niemann showed up and found the track had melted completely.
Bwana wonders what it will take to bring some of his absentees out if not a beautiful pre-Spring day. Maybe they were put off by the prospect of Bwana baring the meat muffins. (That did not happen - he's saving it for March.) Or maybe they'd show if more trail running centerfolds girls came to the workout. How about Bwanita for State Patty's Day?
