For many individuals, 5am is a mad time to work out, unlike for Monica who I have the chance to share the gym with when/if I make it at that time.

I met her a few months back before the summer when her and her partner Sandra joined the gym. As usual, it is very exciting for me to meet fitness enthusiasts. Her and many others who I spend time with breaking a sweat are unbeknownst to the fact that they are a shot in the arm for me.

Advice to other amateur athletes or to those who want to lose weight: Don’t get discouraged, it is only a matter of time to find the charm in sports and health and fitness.

Further comments: N/A

Her and Sandra definitely have the stamina of a twenty year old, I don’t know where they get the energy to get up at 4am almost every day of the week! It reminds me of my good ‘ole days. It is somewhat difficult for me to make fitness goals with this never ending hiatus that is taking a LOT more than expected but I will start demanding a little more from me as of 2014 God willing!
