When I competed in my first running race at an early age, my father and I ran around the track nearly every day to train for the event but when race day came, I was 2nd behind a boy.

• I happened upon this site while surfing the web...I think it is great. I did some reading of the magazine and couldn't agree more. I think I have found something that I could use in my life everyday. I am a body sculpting instructor, but I have just made the commitment and also hired a personal trainer for myself.
