I stood there during one of the rounds of my HIIT ( High Intensity Interval Training)classes, hands on my knees, taking in breaths as I tried to get my pounding heart to slow down. Drops of sweat splashed onto the mat beneath me and I tried to convince myself it was doing me some good.

The attraction is not knowing what will happen with your next article or struggling to come up with a killer headline. ( I’m still working on that one)
