Front Squat3-3-3-3-3Front Squat is part of the Yearly Benchmark Series. Log your score! $1750 Raised! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the wildly successful fundraiser for Run Across Congo on Friday. Below is a note from Mel and a link to follow her on her journey as she runs seven marathons in seven days. Every one of you has played an integral part in making Run Across Congo happen for our coffee communities in the Eastern DR Congo. We couldn’t have done it without your financial contributions, kind words, kid help, enthusiasm, delivered meals, hugs, running partners, borrowed clothes, foot rubs, training tips, rescues (!), and your belief in Conscious Coffees!!!! If you’d like to follow along the journey you can get updates on Facebook. Otherwise, we will be in touch, with inspired thoughts and tired legs, on our return. Warmly, Mel and the whole Conscious Gang.Read more
