From time to time we have to give acknowledgement and/or look back to thank those that have helped us along the way. Success is “the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted”. Everyday people set out to achieve something they've never done before… these goals become our drive, our passion. Whether it’s to finish a weekend project, make a ton of money, or to win a race, each and every one of us strive to achieve something or be better than we were yesterday. 
The very nature of being a runner forces you to be goal oriented, to lose weight, to finish a race, or to be socially connected to others. That’s where mentors, coaches, or other runners come in. Our community is rich with people from all walks of life. Our interactions with each other help to grow us, mold us, inspire us to dig deep within ourselves to realize that we can set a goal and achieve it. Even if we stumble or have a setback, it's our mentors, family, and friends that provide that guidance to help us to continue to move forward. Many people like to think its hard work and dedication that makes a person successful, and for the most part it is, but if it weren't for the people giving that subtle nudge, that one tip, or by sharing their story then your efforts may have taken longer than originally intended. 
So, I’d like to take the time to thank each and everyone of my past and present mentors, the family and friend, the ones who help me today, and the ones who will help me in the future. It’s your shoulders I stand on and hope that I would be so fortunate to help others to achieve their dreams as you have helped me to achieve mine.
Keep Running!!
