Back blast – The Mutt – 06-23-18 – Aiken Legs

So I must admit, walking out of Molly Malone's after the Ruck party last night and hearing a snicker here, a laugh over there, and endless "Are you really Qing tomorrow" questions, I was more than a little concerned. My hips and calves were aching and my shoulders & chest hurt so much that itContinue reading "Back blast – The Mutt – 06-23-18 – Aiken Legs"
