Cycling in Small Town Missouri

Guest post by Jennifer Wassenaar
Growing up in Farmington, Missouri, my older sister and I would ride our bikes up and down the street, to the park that was behind our home and to our grandparents’ houses. I even remember mastering the art of riding with no hands. As I got older and my parents moved [...]

Yoga was a big enough deal to me that I wouldn’t have accepted the job here [...]

Country Days Run

I rolled out of bed at 6 am to head into Farmington for the Country Days 1 mile fun run registration.
