After the first real heat wave of the season, it was mild, dry, and gorgeous as Jim Myers, John Domico, Tom Cali, Judd Michael, Lance Bland, Jon Oatley, George Lesieutre, John Sheakoski, Jim Moore, Ken Davis, Jon Thurley, Andy Maguire, Michael Goldfine, Rob Shaver, Mike Renz, Frank Zaffino, Rich Harter, Dana Todd, Dean Capone, Kevin Becker, Rob Peterson, Steve Olson, and Marty Mazur headed for the track.

Actually, it was gorgeous because the Penn State women's track team was at the track doing their warm-ups. They're getting ready for the National meet. Bwana and his dirty old men (yes, all men today; none of our gorgeous Thursday Track ladies came out today) stayed out of the girls' way and did 6 X 1 lap relays in lane 10. The far outside lane (unnumbered, actually) is just about 480 meters. The stiff breeze added a bit more work to the already lengthened workout.

As Bwana mentioned, all the gorgeous trackers were otherwise occupied. Tara Murray was in a tiara and licking stamps provocatively for the cover of next month's "Revenue Stamps of Latin America". Bree Studenka was doing a Runner's World cover shoot. Ashley Hill was touring with Wanda Jackson in a Bad Girls of the Bible Belt revue. And Costas Maranas was getting a bikini wax for his upcoming article in Chemical Engineering Times.
