#WWACWarriors: Part 2 w/ Lela Gwenn
To read Part 1 of this series, go HERE! And on to Part 2, in which I remind you that when the going gets tough re-examine your strategy. This is a tough entry to write. Why? Well, because to some people reading this (and to the highly self critical part of myself that lives just above…

The gym is a foreign place to me as a self identified introvert and lover of the indoors so awkwardness will inevitably ensue. Being a writer, I obviously had to document it.
