"My friend was right. Honestly, in the beginning, I thought I would never be able to complete the 12 weeks alive. It was truly the hardest work out I had ever endured but the biggest motivator for me was the team effort; and that, I was not expecting. The friendships that I have made and the challenges that I have faced and accomplished are something that you can only experience through PLS. Knowing the coaches and other participants were waiting on my arrival every morning at 5:00 a.m. motivated me to keep going. When I was told I was going to have to run a 5K during the program I said there was “no way” but by the end of the 12-week program I ran (4) 5K’s and (1) 10K something I am very proud of. I now wear my PLS t-shirts with great pride because for me it is a badge of honor…and I am not done yet!"
