Small Town and Gym Life

Haircuts, Rec Center Workouts, a Bozeman Concert, and Remembering Chris Moore

Joy and Claire catch up on Claire's new haircut, including a subtle side undercut meant as a low-maintenance nod to her former mullet, and her small-town Moab salon experience. They discuss how making friends in a new town can hinge on community spaces. Joy commits to the rec center, explores the weight room, and embraces fun classes like BodyPump rather than rigid “should” rules about fitness. Joy shares gardening projects as a coping outlet, her interest in quirky workouts like Kangoo Jumps, and a question about Trader Joe’s small talk. Updates include a new puppy-raising dog, McCoy, Moab’s sudden heat and the dogs’ sunbathing, a Montana trip to Bozeman for a Marcus Mumford concert disrupted by very drunk attendees, upcoming travel and Pride event help in Lincoln, and a reflection on the 10-year anniversary of Barbell Shrugged host Chris Moore’s sudden death and the impact of their final interview.
