Girlfriends & tequila (the outcome is always a mystery).

9. What's a favorite workout/challenge/event that you've done at FS?

[Molly] Don't kill me, but I've never participated (fully) in a challenge! I do really enjoy the 2.0 class, learning new techniques and becoming more comfortable around heavy weight.

10. What's your favorite song to workout to?

Hard to pick just one. Gimme some hop hop or reggae and I'm set.

Let's just say I'd never turn down a delicious evening at Sun City.

100% the people and Molly.

I take myself to the beach a lot, its a great distraction.

15. Do you have any hobbies?

Most leisure time is spent with my twin sister, doing lord-knows-what.
