We are half-way through OrangeTheory’s Transformation Challenge and I have learned a few things about myself and just in general that I would like to share. 💪 I love the community aspect of OTF and the challenge BUT I’m not much of a joiner when it comes to the themed weeks. Sorry, but I only…
I’ve always been fascinated by the moon. When I was little, I thought about being an astronaut for a brief moment – until I watched the Challenger blow up on TV while sitting in the elementary school auditorium next to a hundred other scared children.
