Nothing good comes from staying in your comfort zone. No news flash here but I do love a good work out. I respect my body and revel in the fact that it continues to support me and carry me to be a healthier and better human. After all, I plan on needing this old body for at least another 40-45 years. (So, look out!) This morning in spin class, in the height of a long uphill push, our fearless instructor…
