Roll The Bones

A good showing considering the fine turnout and time we all had at Urban South Brewery and Christmas party last night!  Thanks to all that brought or cooked food!  A quick disclaimer and off we go to the fountain for typical warm up: Running exercises:  butt kicks, high knees, carioca, …
