A Diego….almost
A few months ago I Q'd Ironman, brought 8 cmu block coupons, and found a juicy little exicon called The Diego. Today, somewhat last minute prep for me, we would revisit.

I heard a few grumbles as I mentioned “let’s stretch our legs”. We carefully grossed the road and started our mosey stopping at [...]
Mini-Murph-Monday
It was a Monday - and it's only a 45 minute workout, so instead of doing a full Murph, we did a mini-murph. It was a beautiful moring by the sea. I dropped a fantastic disclaimer and then we were off, headed toward the pier - only to stop in the parking lot for a [...]
