Default Training Quote of the Day

I need some motivation, so I'm going to make myself post a quote here daily (hopefully!)

Great idea eric. Will check in daily. I like the continous effort one. The amount of people that quit a diet after one salad for lunch and not waking up with abs or one cardio or gym session is huge. Continous effort people.

Here's my quote for Sunday, as I'll be out busting my ass on the bike in the cold tomorrow morning. Motivation, slowly coming back!

"Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my *** six hours a day.
What are you on?"
-Lance Armstrong

I love that Ali quote Joe, he is/was phenominal. Here's mine for Thursday.

nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

Thanks guys! I have been struggling to work out lately with moving, starting a new job, etc. So I needed SOMETHING to get me going. This has helped so far!

Sorry I missed a day. Big day at work, and I had to get a nice, winter run in before we get dumped on! Here's Friday's, I hope it gets you through this last day before a nice weekend!
