RETURN TO MEDIOCRITY: TWENTYSOMETHING EDITION
Some of us may train on playgrounds like Patrick's Loop, but I train on playgrounds like the one at Mansfield Middle School. Monday morning's session consisted of a five minute warmup jog (they call it a "fiver" in the biz), a vigorous fence hop, and ten minutes of barefoot action on the grass. Shoes are for Carrie Bradshaw. I think my right Achilles is ready for action, just not yet the hill sprints that are customarily the introductory phase of my training. Things are gonna change, I can feel it.
