I have a semi-private training session tomorrow morning

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120054) • United States 30 Jul 19

They usually are on Tuesdays at 10 am (summer) or 4 pm (when I'm working) but that wasn't an option this week. My favorite trainer isn't available until tomorrow so I went with the earliest session available. After sleeping late...
