It was a perfect weather morning for my VQ2.  I arrived early and in the dark quiet I looked at the Veteran’s Memorial Wall and saw the USA flags waving in the breeze.  What a great reminder about how good I have it and to never forget the men & women who gave me andContinue reading "Backblast 5/22 @ The Tank w/ Rhythm"

North Posh is the most uniqueContinue reading "Back-Blast – North Posh – 5/20/19"

I was texting with Huggies and Nino last night about Q's for St. Patrick's. The discussion led to when we should start Tuesday workouts because Thursday's are going really well.

It was a good Q break for me..
