Workouts off the beaten path: February 24-28, 2014

Workouts for February 24-28, 2014

I apologize for missing last week:  we had our High School District Championships on Friday and Saturday and I completely forgot to post!  Tomorrow (Friday) is our State Championships and I fear I will forget again, so I’m writing a day early for next week’s post.
