Hey Old Cityzens!
Hope you all had a HAPPY and SAFE 4th of July weekend. I was out enjoying the awesome weather myself.. doing some hiking and swimming. There was no grilling or fireworks, but that doesn’t make my holiday weekend any less enjoyable. I got in some much needed time off and time away from the gym, so I’m ready to GO this week!
