Michael Fitzgerald Programming

Back on a program:  I have been following a program designed by coaches from OPT for about two solid years now.  It has been great and has improved my fitness drastically and changed how I thought about fitness.  Now I'm getting on board with Michael Fitzgerald to be my coach.  I trust him to get me where I need to be.  I will update this blog consistently with how this is going.

Onward and upward!!!
