Club Report: Sunday 9th July 2017.

The will to win is nothing, without the will to prepare. Therefore, if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired, in the morning, the afternoon and the evening; but the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.

Seek and run towards your goal….
