We all do it, and unless you're fully committed and have a lot of unwavering internal and external support, the chances of success are pretty slim. But wait - you're an OCR athlete and like challenging stuff... you should knock off your 2018 to-do list like it was a Spartan bucket carry - right?
The joys of summer semi-freedom-from-clothes days are still 6 months away, and this message is going out to the 99% of us who didn’t just step out of an American Eagle ad for just long enough to slather some coconut oil on our rippling 6-pack abs.
