Sorry I can’t make it to the Robyn dance party tonight. My quads were too sore from the one and only leg day I’ve done in the past two months. Please reply to this email if you’re a personal trainer on the Eastside who can get my lazy butt into shape for festival season. (Ideally an attractive man with big beefy arms)
