  • You are Better Than You Were Yesterday

  • Love those Burpees Said No One Ever

    Burpees Suck Something I did on Monday tweaked my back a bit. It started yesterday afternoon and it’s not super painful but I decided to take a rest day today to just let it heal a bit. It was a hard decision too. Coach Conan is the scheduled coach –it didn’t hurt that burpees were…

  • It Takes A Community: CrossFit
