SGF - Week 5
So Suzy has been a bit under the weather this week much to her trainers' dismay as well as her own.  There has been plenty of self induced exercise with the normal running around and a toddler on foot.  But until next week, no fun anecdotes about my devil of a trainer, so you'll just have to wait for the next round.

In the meantime, check out Fitness Together on facebook and become a fan.
