by Phorm Athlete, Gillian Risebury on Nov 11, 2009, under Women's Fitness
Hey everyone! Well, it looks like Christmas is right around the corner now that the ground is covered in leaves and the weather is getting cooler. One thing I will miss the most about the warmer weather is taking my training outside. As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan [...]
