The big front moved in, officially ending, if not summer, then summer's weather. Jim Myers, John Domico, Lance Bland, Ken Davis, George Lesieutre, Mark Fedkin, Esther Prins, Natalie Merchant, Sara Noss, Pedro Andia, Ashley Hill, Dana Todd, Jim Laudermilch, Kirk Rager, Rob Peterson and Marty Mazur under gray clouds with some drizzle still falling and temperatures in the mid 50s.

Today we had a surprise visit from Pedro, AKA "Pablo", "Paco", "Pedrito" and "Speedy Pete" Andia. Many of you who have been with us a while remember Pedro from the old Avocados mOUnTaiNBACK. Pedro also ran with the Rec Hall Regulars and was frequently seen at Thursday Track. Pedro was passing through, having left a high-stress job in the Boston area and now heading to find new opportunities in California. Good luck to Pedro!

Bwana had the Crew do 6 X 1 Lap progressive. That means, first moving the hurdles out of lanes 2-7. Then, starting in lane 2, run a lap, rest a half-lap, move out to the next lane, run a lap as fast or faster than previous lap, repeat. It's a killer to get that last one done if you ramp up quickly!

It was a low turnout today. Some may have been anticipating better weather for the evening's Discovery Run in Rothrock. Well, despite beautiful "fall" weather, attendance was unexpectedly light there, too. Some teams really need to get cracking!
