Thursday Track is building back up to some solid numbers. Even without most of the ladies, and two of our most regular knuckleheads, we still had a respectable (?) showing of 27 runners: Jim Myers, Bob Cornwall, Jim Moore, Randy Jepson, Costas Maranas, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Meira Minard, Greg Luna, John Sheakoski, Marty Klanchar, Mike Casper, Ron Cunfer, Jon Oatley, Michael Goldfine, Mike Renz, Mark Traband, Dana Todd, Kirk Rager, Dave Agler, Andy Maguire, Adam Smith, Jerry Steffy, Rob Shaver, Kevin Becker, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur all passed within spitting distance of the track and nearly all of them stayed for the workout.

Well, Marathon season is (almost) over until the fall, as is 5K time. But there are still plenty of races of all kinds: crazy trail races, 4Ks, 10Ks, 3.8 milers (?), etc. Bwana has no idea who's getting ready for what. So he gave the Whitman Sampler Relay: 2-person up and down ladder (200 through 1K in increments of 200). Each person in the pair gets to run each distance once. It's a tough workout, especially since you get some good rest between runs and so should run each rung of the ladder hard! It's like a final exam, where you have to remember something from each of our workouts. Bwana will send today's class home with good grades.

We should crack 30 at one of our coming workouts. That is, if the knuckleheads (Cali and Domico) show. Teacher-in-Training Meira made it on her first day away from the little brats with her own fresh summertime playground injury. She had been out trying to skateboard the Mid-State Trail. What about our professional scholars? Esther Prins was celebrating her promotion to Associate Professor, and tenure. Ashley, Bree, and Jen, on the other hand, toiling away in some grad student / post-doc cave somewhere, chipping away at blocks of salt. And the rest of you? Toss your books in the corner and enjoy the pollen-laden air!
