Got to work out for the first time in four days, because I was resting after catching the #plague It was on the crossramp since the hotel only had two #dreadmills and they were taken. #vacationworkout #crossramp #cardioishardio #iveshallwedding #annarbor (at Holiday Inn Near the University of Michigan)
