Who inspires you? There are a few people my friend Janette Buell who broke her neck horse jumping and amazes me with her running ability, another friend of mine who lives in Florida deals with vertigo but continues to run and never gives up, Beth Warren, Melissa Roberts, and the last person who crosses the finish line, because they never give up until they cross that finish line I love seeing that look in their eyes saying I finished and the feeling of accomplishment..
