Capsule Active Wear
Do you all have someone you secretly or not so secretly compete against at the gym? Mine happens to be, no lie, a mid-70's year old man. We both prefer the same treadmill and I just pray I beat him there in the morning because that man walks a good hour before he leaves. Also, [...]
