The MP4 Spotlight is Back on: Ashley Kumlien
Friday, September 24th, 2010
A few weeks ago Ashley Kumlien was our ModelPer4mance Athlete of the Week. Remember when we spotlighted her?
She’s the incredible woman on the 3,200 mile run across the United States to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.
Well guess what?
She’s still running.
She has less than 100 miles to go until she reaches her finish line in New York.
I know we have a lot of MP4′ers in the New England area so if you get a chance, track her down.
Go out and cheer her on. Run a mile or 10 with her.
Or just pop over to her blog and leave her some MP4 love.
Just prepared to be inspired.

One of the tools we love to rock at MP4 are complexes. They are fast, effective and all encompassing. You can substitute a day of cardio for them, aw well. Try them and let us know if you like them.
