Ahh here I am, late getting to my one little word.  It seems every week my word relates mostly to working out and running and well to be honest, that was my intention when I first chose the word.  I want to challenge myself both physically and mentally as much as possible.  I have goals I want to reach with running, with weight - ugh yeah that one is always a challenge!
