“When I was younger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee was a mentor to me and gave me great advice. The best was to 'work 100 percent, but enjoy every moment along the way.'

Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push.” IfsKnowsWayGivingSometimesHardHelpingHappensRunningPainFightingFunPlansGroupsMeetingsHaving FunExtrasPlusMotivatedWorkoutFatigueGroup Of FriendsStay Motivated Author:Allyson Felix
