  • BQ(Q) – Mike G

    A great BQ(Q) with legit fast denizen of running ahead MikeyMike. I gotta quite this awesome passage: That’s the question I think a work-a-day hobbyjogger has to always ask: am I willing to do the work?  Because for nearly all of us the limiting factor is not our God-given talent or genetics, it’s simply how…
