Fit and Strong, Work Outs

Here's what I wish someone had told me years ago: fitness isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, even when you don't want to. Getting fit and strong  isn’t a one stop deal. It’s a long term prospect. You know how they’re always saying, “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.” Well, that’s true. In fact, it might actually be an ultra.
