All I know is that my superheroes wear running shoes

JOURNAL - #WEEK 14

Wednesday 5th April

Three people inspire me every day. Their actions make me get my act in gear every morning. However, I don't know who they are. I don't know their names. All I know is that my superheroes wear running shoes and put an effort in every morning regardless of the weather. To them, muddy trails outside my window don't matter. Sub-zero temperatures? No problem. Thanks to them I have pushed through the winter cycling season in all sorts of weather too. This week, we look at the world of sports for a multifaceted and multidiscipline version of our potential that strives through a consistent build-up of mental and physical resilience.
