Ok, story time starts now. About a month ago, my boyfriend and I were sitting in the airport, waiting for our flight to Europe to board. I was personally still reeling from the hellish experience of taking the bar exam, and was so looking forward to escaping on a well-deserved and highly anticipated vacation.

Gym –– Better Than Tv
I remembered a little story about personal training that I want to share with everyone. It was the end of a session with T. As always, we finished up in the stretching area, stretching my hamstrings and quads. I noticed another woman staring.
