Well, our see-saw ride toward summer hit a kind of high again today. The weather was drab and a bit cold, but good enough for Jim Myers, Erick DeWolf, John Domico, Jim Moore, Bob Cornwall, Lance Bland, Randy Jepson, Tom Cali, Martha Nelson, John Sheakoski, Andrew Webb, Greg Luna, Jon Thurley, Mike Weyandt, Andy Maguire, Jon Oatley, Dana Todd, Kirk Rager, Bree Studenka, Ashley Hill, Joel Niemann, Rob Peterson, Steve Olson, and Marty Mazur to head to the outdoor track. That's pretty good attendance!

A big portion of the Crew was there for their good-luck send-off to the Charlottesville Marathon. And a few more who are running Boston in 11 days were not going to do much of a workout. The rest of us did 6X400, which might help in a Spring 5K situation.

We had quite a few visitors today. Martha Nelson will be heading for Charlottesville but decided to take the "long cut" to visit us and show up at the track. Erick DeWolf, a sometime participant of several years ago, is visiting from Kansas and picked Thursday Track of all the things he could have been doing. And from the Nether reaches of the USA to the Netherlands of Europe, Andrew Webb paid us a visit. He too is heading for Charlottesville to run with his favorite transpondian running buddies.

Some of Bwana's locals, who live or work but a hop, skip, and a jump from the track, were ne'ther there nor anywhere else sweatworthy. Let's at least hope they can pick up a pen or click a mouse to go and make a donation to the CVIM Marathoners for Medicine!
