Week 4 The week may have been short, but the workload, not so much. The downside of the long weekend: at some point it ends. The downside of a cross country runner’s long weekend: at some point it ends and you get to head to Sanborn for a race. All joking aside, the Mascenic team got to head up to the Kingston Commons this past Tuesday for a nice flat and sweaty 5K. I guess things can only go uphill from here. If you know what I mean.

I won’t lie though, it’s pretty fun finding a wrecked car in the middle of the woods and pelting it with stones. It kind of made my day, actually. […]
