Nascar Night - Track - Lexington, MA - 5

Day 350 - It was such a gorgeous night for a run outside!

Unfortunately, 20 or so hapless GLRR souls were trapped inside the Rat Dome for Coach Jim's 10 x 400 workout (well, most of us anyways).

Great to see the Greenies out in full force for the workout, shattering the all-time attendance record at winter track by about 19.5.

OK. Since you guys all made the effort to come out to track I'll see if I can recall everybody that was there tonight...here goes:

Fil
EJ
Liane
Lauren
Glenn
Mark
Frank
The Murphy's (2)
Keith
James
John
Jeff
Jim
Paul H.
Paul K.
Nick Kanaracus (Thanks, EJ!)
Joe (coaching)
Pat (coaching)
Noelle (coaching)
And about 10 or so GLRR future Olympians

All in all it was awesome to have that many bodies out there wreaking havoc on the freaked out locals doing their daily track walks. There were pile-ups around every turn, but man was it fun! Total Nascar Chaos!

(Yeeeeeehaw!)

Even with a half-a-case of death lingering in my system (Lauren had the other half), I had me one of the best track workouts so far this year. I basically experienced the Michael Jordan Flu game.

I sprinted most, if not all, of the intervals with EJ, Frank, The J Boys, and Fil.

Of course it's not a complete track workout unless we negate said workout with a few cold ones over a plate of cheese infested pasta at Mario's afterwards. Yum.

If you plan on running Boston in April definitely take advantage of GLRR track as part of your weekly workout. It will payoff come April 18th!

If you plan on taking part in the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest definitely take advantage of Mario's.

Let's go for 25 bodies (dead or alive) next WEDNESDAY gang!
