the Equinox conundrum
Tuesday I had the day off and planned to test out Equinox. My parents had received a free day pass when they checked into the NYC Marathon finish line stands and they gave them to me. I had no intention of signing up, but rather thought using their facilities would be a nice treat.

On race day I’ll be...
