Back home in TX for winter "break". Problem is, I still have work to do on research papers for school. It is nice to be home, even if I'm still "under the gun". Training at the Original Metroflex for these sessions, next to Total Performance Sports-- my favorite "home" gym! If anyone ever finds themselves in the Dallas/Fort Worth area-- be sure to check out Metroflex in Arlington. It'll be worth it.
