For my family-Sky, Zach & Halle...They are my CHEERLEADERS & make every day worth it!

For my Dad because he ran when I was young and eventually I thought, "Hey, I can do that too!"For Jesus...

For my Mom because she taught me to TRY!

For the REST of my family...EACH of you have impacted me & I take you with me each time I hit the road.

For the mere fact that I can!

For the scenery that I am enjoying wherever I run...

For the songs that come on my iPod

For my health

For the time to just let my thoughts & ideas happen as they may...

For my treasured friends-past & present...people inspire me!

For challenges...they make me stronger!

For memories...some that make me laugh, others that make me cry but ALL of them are what makes ME!

For yesterday, today & tomorrow...

 

Tomorrow is my 4th Half Marathon..this one is the Pasadena Rock N Roll...I am truly full of GRATITUDE!
