Article: Out of Shape Feet

Went to a Hustle class tonight.

Although I have not done any Hustle since November, I was feeling pretty good, until about ten minutes into the class, when my foot started hurting. My foot was not used to the And of the And-One.

Spent the next fifty minutes hobbling on my heel.

When you are out of practice, things get you that you do not expect.
