Trail Blazing at the Trailhead

Great to see Steve made it with the PAX even though he was out with friends till 0100 this morning. 0600 came early for him. Sorry we missed EiEi, something about  butter milk and cookies hurting his tummy😬! The Thang Warmup 20xic Side Straddle Hops, Windmills, Squats, Butt Kicks, Mountain …

Pretzel AMRAP

Only Blackbird could return from a week of backpack elk hunting in the Utah mountains refreshed and ready to humble the Covington PAX.  EiEi is used to it by now but welcome Steve to the geriatric Covington PAX where sextuagenarians abound, and bound, and jump and crush and inspire the …
