As I mentioned. Briefly. And not at all whinily. In my previous 169.2 post. I have basically collected the equivalent of eight extra five-pound weights. That I’m carrying up and down mountains every weekend or so. It makes it far more challenging than necessary.

I know. I know. I'm not supposed to care about the scale. But for real?

I've lived most of my early life around 120 lbs. … Continue reading 169.2
Gym Family
Sometimes you get lucky and find just the right place for you. Some of us have been lucky enough to find exactly that at PlayFITStayFIT. We’re a little different than the other gyms. We’re fun.

End of My Fitness Hiatus
“What are you guys doing???” Whatever we want! We’re grown! Went to leg day yesterday. At PlayFITStayFIT. Haven’t been there in a minute.
