Winning is not about headlines and hardware [medals]. It's only about attitude. A winner is a person who goes out today and every day and attempts to be the best runner and best person they can be! Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

New Year's Resolution (with a price)

I have just committed to the biggest new year's resolution I have EVER made. I just registered for the Utah Valley Marathon!! The registration fee is non-refundable, so I had better run the race or we will be out that money. Yes, I can transfer it to another race, or runner I think, but I am going to DO THIS!!! I tried to get Aaron to want to do it with me, but he politely declined!! It will be my first, hopefully not last, marathon and I am now sick to my stomach! I have six months to get ready...I have done a half, so hopefully a full marathon won't kill me! Just kidding.....I am really excited and I think it will be a great fitness and emotional goal!!

Utah Valley Marathon, June 12, 2010.......HERE I COME!!!!!!!
