Before this I was not a long distance runner at all, but I think I’ve found a new addiction.

I will be doing resistant training 4x a week concentrating on 1-2 muscle groups at a time. Then an additional 2 days will be dedicated to cardio where i will burn 776 calories...

What is a Champion?
Champions get up one more time every time they’re knocked down.
Champions give it their all no matter what the score
Champions see every challenge as an opportunity
Champions dedicate themselves to prepare for success
Champions stand firm when others fall
Champions may sometimes fail, but never quit
-Today is a new day. Start living like a champion!
