Now that I have so much energy from eating properly, THAT'S what's keeping me motivated. The new/improved me (less 10-11 lbs) climbs much faster. I've shaved almost a full 2 minutes off of my Old La Honda benchmark from last summer, and am now only 1 min, 10 seconds off of my goal time." ~ Holly Roberts
