"Endurance sport has balanced my life in so many ways.  It provides such a great outlet to relieve stress but at the same time can stress you out thinking about the actual race.  You learn so much about yourself during training, that really translates into your personal and professional life.  2010 was a stellar year for me, having PR'd in every single race that I competed in.  I even got a few podium finishes!  I've set some pretty lofty goals for 2011, but the crown jewels are IMCDA and qualifying for the Boston Marathon.  These are both goals that I would've never even fathomed before joining Fortius.  Normal people think we're crazy, but they just don't understand what it is to be an endurance athlete."
