December 2015 workouts

Here I am, ready to take on the end of the year and prepare myself for new beginnings. I am still at it with my lifestyle change. I am really beginning to see where my fuel and my form are changing the way I run, my stamina, and my perseverance. 

Check out the difference from April 2015 to December 2015 in this photo:

This picture below is a testament to hard work and perseverance. It is the difference from the beginning of the year to December 2015.
