Ever get BORED on the Treadmill? I’ve heard it all. Folks gruntin’ like their colitis is flaring up, huffing half-stanzas of their most inspirational Weeknd bops, chanting to themselves – aloud- that their favorite QB is working out RIGHT NOW. Anything to get through the grind. Luckily, before the BORED feeling washes over you and you don’t know what you’ll…
These heavy words landed like bricks in my lap from a heavy set woman who played no word games at all.
