I used to love running, 5K's and 10K's but years of only hitting it hard for a couple of months and taking a couple of months off has hit me in my older age. Not as easy to get back to speed. So I joined this site to help some friends and myself stay focused to keep up training all year long. With a balanced diet and a regular workout schedule, I hope to meet my weigh-in goal. When you take accountability, you accept the responsibility to see things through, you empower yourself to do what it takes to succeed, you make a conscious effort to stick to your guns and push forward. Any tool that can make that possible should be taken advantage of to ensure the desired outcome.
