"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall." - Vince Lombardi
The First 100 days
We've all got a story to tell. I let injuries and a chronic disease take my body from being the Athlete of the Year in my high school to an unhealthy, out of shape, and sedentary mess of its former self. Here's what I'm doing to return to form, and reach my ultimate goal of being in the best shape of my life, even better than in the ol' "Glory Days"
