You've never been to a gym before?

Not A gym. The gym. The Sportsclub in Five Forks, SC.

That's either some really creative marketing or just flat out laziness in coming up with a name.

In Laramie Wyoming there is a Bar called the "Library" so when students want to go out they can say they spent all night at the library.

Oh wah...38 degrees! You're getting soft!

Aaron- I should have also mentioned that it was raining. Hard. Very hard- it rained 1.2 inches by noon. You want to go running in a hard rain, 30 mph wind, and sub-40 temps? Just sayin...

Ok, you're off the hook;)

Thank you, sir.
