I So Live In Mayberry!

I stopped by OST to renew my fitness membership. In the past the daytime workers never seemed to have a clue what was going on so, I asked when Brenda would be in. By first break I find a voicemail from Brenda saying "Hi Katie! I figured when she told me the person who came in said she got a break in price because of some special medical condition...It must be you." She left her OST's number and her home phone number. My key card was reactivated before they even received payment. I biked 16.8 miles today. It was really weird...on some hills I could keep a staedy 20mph yet on others I was doing well to do 6.5mph. The only thing I could figureout was maybe one was more shaded, had less breeze or was more humid. I worked out at OST for about and hour stretching & lifting weights.
