Samantha was giving me a little hassle, asking me how could I recommend Robb’s book if I hadn’t read it. I bought my copy this weekend (I will have a loaner copy when my “pre-order” comes from Amazon in a few weeks) and have started reading it. Until I get […]
More pictures on CrossFit Palo Alto’s website. Week 2 went well, we got another win and I think we are sitting 8th in NorCal. The team is really working well together. Thanks to Erin and Jasmine for showing up and cheering the team on to victory. The next event will […]
