Dani T: This Girl is B-A-D!
People complain about not having enough time to exercise, being too busy, having a job, kids, family, school, and so many other responsibilities. Whatever! We’ve heard it all. But wait! Let me tell you about Mrs. Danielle Thompson. Her cardio kick, straight up 
strength, and cycling classes are so intense that you have to wait in line to take them. She trains for and runs marathons. She mountain bikes. She works full time for the state. She is an adjunct collegiate instructor, and she is a full-time mother who taught cycling classes until she was nearly 5 months pregnant. Even after she had her adorable little son, she came back training harder than before, except this time she had the kiddie stroller and some extra weight with her at the races! And I need not forget to mention that this girl is not ashamed to say Christ is the head of her household. She is a true motivator and inspiration without even trying. Her personality and spirit are infectious, and she is only 27. This girl has got the world ahead of her! She is going to get it and is not waiting for it to be given to her. So how about that! The next time you feel like complaining about not having any time or being too tired to move, go tell that to Dani T if you can keep up with her on the running course. She might have some sympathy for you and ask you to move out of her way rather than plow you over. I’ve got so much respect for this girl. Keep doing what you do!
But wait there's more. Danielle really is crazy when it comes to training! I agreed to meet her one evening for a refreshing 60 minute stairmill session. She was training for a marathon at the time, so I figured hey, some extra cardio won’t hurt either of us. After working out that morning, my plan was to do the starimill session later that evening. Then Dani texts me and says she is subbing for someone’s spin class and asked if I wanted to join her. “Cool”, I thought. We are just going to do spin class instead of the stairmill. Wishful thinking. Dani text me back shortly after and said, “Still down for stairmill at 4:30 and spin class at 5:30?” WHAT? The girl is crazy. I told her she was trying to kill me, and then excitedly agreed to participate in the massacre. We’re both crazy I guess. I was dying and hurting after the attempted massacre, but I survived. Thanks Dani T!
Sometimes it’s nice to know there is always someone out there who is slightly more sadistic than you are when it comes to training. Go find that person and learn from them. Get up and make it happen. GET MOTIVATED!
