They say do what you're uncomfortable doing right? Well, I've only Q'd The Foundry once before and in my critical opinion, it was lackluster and left something to be desired. So sign me up Alexa for another shot (long over due, I know...). That doesn't mean I won't be nervous. But you know what? SometimesContinue reading "11.6.19 Back Blast for The Foundry- BigBird Q"

Ever take some time to reflect on what you have accomplished in a year? Ever do that at a time that's not January the 1st?

In case you're on the fence, here are some reasons why you should come out to Long Run Park tomorrow @ 0500 and anytime at Polo Fields Clubhouse when you can: You're already up before 0500 anyway.
