Special shout out to Hailey King, one of the most hard working and enthusiastic volunteers this year. Hailey was part of the 30 or so Irons Junior High National Junior Honor Society students that joinned us this year. BIG thanks to all the students that came out to help.

From sports drinks to protein powders, from compression therapy to cupping — there's a whole industry of products and services designed to help us adapt to and recover from exercise.
But does any of it work? That's the question science writer Christie Aschwanden set out to answer in her new book, Good to Go: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery.

REMEMBER Daylight Saving time (fall back) comes into effect at 2 am Sunday morning!

"On Sunday, Nov. 4, most Americans will set their clocks back an hour, as daylight saving time (sometimes erroneously called daylight savings time) comes to a close, and most of the United States will "lose" an hour of daylight. These spring and fall clock changes continue a long tradition started by Benjamin Franklin to conserve energy."
