Hey Ladies gym fans! This is senior Dot, Dot, Dot coming at ya with the first gym talk of 2020 and of the spring semester—my and Cami’s last semester at Centenary! Your Ladies have been enjoying some time off classes since the last gym talk. We all spent time at home for Christmas break, resting with our families and training at our home gyms. It was SO nice to have time to spend with family and friends from home! We returned to school about a week earlier than most of our friends to kick off boot camp on Sunday! Although we love having time at home with our families, we were all excited to see each other and get ready for meet season!
