So my marathon training hit a snag this week. I was supposed to get in two 5 mile runs earlier this week but my schedule only allowed for a few 3 mile runs instead. So instead of fussing over it or skipping them altogether because my plan was falling apart I decided to make …

Why it matters
Getting healthy is not easy. Exercising is not easy. Staying motivated when seemingly insurmountable challenges up and bite you in the tush, when results are not coming as quickly as you wish is hard. Sometimes you feel like throwing in the towel.

F is for Flexibility
On your fitness journey you need to be flexible, not only with your body but with your mind. Your approach. Your outlook.
