Story worth sharing

Yesterday during my 24 hour cycling session, our coach told us the most amazing Story as we were making our last hill:
She, now as a mother of 4, lost their third child 2 years ago. That, with a quivering smile, was the hardest thing she's ever gone through. Now, every hill she makes, she makes so that she can stay strong for her other 3 kids. and every push she makes, she makes it for the moments that her kid that will never experience. Chances are, she says, that you've gone through something much harder than weight loss - that you've had to make harder choices than this. So every time you come to the gym, remind yourself that this is nothing compared the other challenges you've conquered. Because truly, exercising and striving for health is a privilege.
