In the moment, taking challenges as the come up and learning a bit about one’s self and what you are capable of. LetContinue reading "11.17.18 BO at The County"

Many of the County PAX are posh transplants. They often still post at the the posh-est AO around. Likewise, several of the posh PAX often post at the County. The two groups workout well together. They also seem to enjoy a little bit of jawing back and forth about which site/PAX is better. Thursday willContinue reading "Pre-Blast: Thanksgiving Day Burpee football at the County 07:00-08:00"
