D: It was a Thursday, June 9th to be exact, in the summer of 2016 and Nashville was hot as ever. At the time, Whitney was still running races, but hated training in the heat, and was starting to hate running in general. On this particular day, she couldn't make herself run on her own, so she was pressuring Jayson (Phillips) to run with her after work. However, in his infinite wisdom, Jayson had already given up running, not to mention being her full time running partner, and had joined my gym. Instead of running, he told her to just take a class with him after work at Nashville FitLab. Whitney agreed. Whitney came to class that night... and the rest, as they say, is history. Shortly thereafter, I started dating Whitney.... 3 months later, Whitney started dating me.
