I like Tex Mex. I have a puppy named Tiki. I work as a Kindergarten teacher. I majored in early childhood education from the University of Tennessee. My next break is during Spring Break.  I live in Columbus. I have old exercise equipment.
I live in Boston. I am still in high school. I like steak and broccoli. I have a puppy named Lex. I play ice hockey. I want to play ice hockey in college. I would like to go to the University of Maine or UMass. I like learning from rap music.  I go to the gym daily. I have a big mat and dumbbells.  I do bodyweight workouts.
I don't exercise with Tiki because I don't want to work Tiki too hard.  Do you need any barbells?  I have two barbells you could have.  I could definitely use one of them.  Since we last talked I went looking at a sports equipment store for more equipment I want.  I still need to buy a bench but I could definitely use a barbell. You've got it then. I'd be happy to give you one. In fact, you could just come by the next time you're in town and take whatever you need. Do you do more workouts at home or at the gym? I'm transitioning from being an in-gym person to working out in a home gym.  I work out so much that I felt I was wasting too much time driving back and forth.  This will be more convenient and hopefully make me that much tougher to deal with on the ice. Totally understand. That way you have an option to workout whenever you want. Have you been working out for a long time, or did you just start recently? I've worked out for a few years but I'm really trying to ramp it up as I get closer to college.  If I don't get bigger and stronger I don't think I'll have any chance of playing in college. I think working out will really help you with that. Are you hoping to eventually go pro, or maybe just get a scholarship for school? I would love to play hockey as long as I can, but yeah, for now the goal is just to see if I can play in college, preferably with a scholarship.  That would really help with the expense of college.  Otherwise I might have to get a job too. That would be good. I'm sure your parents would be happy for that too. Do UMass and the University of Maine have good hockey teams? Yes, they're some of the best, at least on the east coast.  There are a lot of good teams in the midwest, of course, like North Dakota, Minnesota, and Michigan, but UMass and Maine definitely can hold their own. You'd probably know this, then - do schools in the south have hockey teams? I can't remember if my college did when I attended there. Is that a thing for southern schools? Yes, some do!  Most of them don't play at the same competitive level as the powerhouses, but there are some schools in the south with hockey teams, and that number keeps growing.
