The List

Its simple. Life is not.

Thank you.

Mom- You taught me what to do in any situation. Be myself. That is how you prepare your little girl for the world.

Dad- I may not swish the net like we thought I would but I know you love what I do. You showed me you are proud and that gives me confidence on any starting line I toe.

Sister- You push me above and beyond normal sisterhood. Being a better sister makes me a better person. You are badass.

Brother- You kept me sane buddy. Too many miles can make a person sort of wierd and you kept me grounded. I am still wierd, but a lot less than I would have been with out you.

The Rock- Yup. I wish I could know everything that goes on in your head. But that is one way to keep me around. I do know you believe I can be more, and it is what I need.

SCT- When there was nothing else I could do, you showed me running. I learned how to connect my legs to my heart. And my heart to my legs.

Coach Stoffregen- Those stripes you gave me. They meant the world. Those moments. They helped make me. Those gears- they found me. But you found them first.

My Team- Who else could make me run 13 miles? In the snow? Who else could make me speak in public? And who else could make me love it all?

Brain- I believe in love because of you.

My Family- Any one who has ever supported or believed in me is part of my family :) And thank you.
