After my fall marathon, I found myself lacking motivation to stay as active during the winter months. The New Year Challenge, was the perfect remedy! It was fun, engaging, and made the dreary winter months so fun! It was the perfect transition from restrictive marathon training, to having fun and staying active. Looking forward to it again this year! -Heather
