A select group of 7 showed up at Sovereign Grace Church early Monday morning at a site so new that it still doesn’t have a tag on the F3 Carpex web site yet.

Here’s what we did… Warm-Up [Read More]

A brisk cool morning greeted the kids waiting for the bus this morning on their way to Salem Middle School. The gathered in the parking lot and waited patiently for 5:30.

PAX of 1 (YHC) for an EC run PAX of 4 for EC pull-ups. [Read More]
