Featured Partner: CrossFit Convergence

Looking back to last week’s weather issue (pun intended) and to today’s blistering temps, it seems like we won’t have our warm temps just yet. To add to that, we learned something new and that is “tornado” in plural is “tornadoes”, not “tornados”. Whoops, we’ll be the first to call ourselves out, if others do not. We are a work in progress and thankful that you are here for it! Now, onto women who rock.
