by Larry EderThis is hill day #1 in the week. We are not over doing it. In a pandemic, we want to get you quick and in racing shape. But we want to keep you healthy. Stay aware. Check your shoes. We suggest 2 pairs and alternate them. Veteran athletes, and juniors and seniors may consider morning runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
