Attention loyal Crossfit Pleasantonians.  Due to circumstances out of our control, the last three day’s blog posts where obliterated by an angry web god.

Gone.

Never to come back.

So, everything you accomplished at the gym on those days was for nothing.

If your spouse calls looking to check your alibi, your screwed.  You were doing water aerobics.

Oh, and I can’t load any pictures either.  I had a beautiful shot of Adam with his shirt off, but ladies you will have to wait.

Picture thing fixed
