Posted on February 3, 2016 by Christopher Cudworth

They call it speed work

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Christopher Cudworth

The track must have been calling me this morning. Waking up at 5:00 a.m., I attempted to roll over, back to sleep. But it did not work. The track cannot be denied at some point. Our local high school has … Continue reading →
