What started as a year so full of promise and excitement has been one of the most challenging and trying years that many of us have experienced. As anyone who has seriously trained for a physical challenge can attest to, training hard brings pain and soreness before it achieves the desired results. They can also tell you that the pain only lasts for a period of time, while the personal rewards that come from the training can last a lifetime. Please help us spread HOPE and INSPIRE others to live with a better perspective!
