The Importance of Saying Thank You
I just finished reading Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success. I highly recommend it. In the book, Gladwell argues that the widely held view of great success as a result of purely individual determination and hard work is misleading and causes our society to let many potentially great successes stall and fail in their infancy. If you think this view isn't widely held just think back to the one man island rhetoric of the recent election. Through a number of very compelling examples Gladwell argues that success is a combination of individual determination and hard work meeting the right opportunities, and the importance of acknowledging those opportunities in enabling success to happen....

Another year has drawn to a close.
Thank heavens.
I, like many, many of my friends, am plenty happy to see 2012 end. It was an "interesting" year for many of us.
While I have to say that the good stuff outweighed the not-so-good stuff, I am glad to be closing the books on the year, and I'm nothing that hopeful and excited about 2013....

Summer Wins Are Earned In The Winter
By Suzie Fox (from suz--news.blogspot.com)
The entire month of October and the holiday season were extremely difficult for my family and for me. For the last 3 1/2 months I have been doing nothing but spending time with my family and preoccupying myself with lots of work and training. Running is the world's most wonderful distraction and there are few things that I enjoy more in life than a nice long run all alone.
Happy 2013!!! 13 has been my lucky number since I was a little girl so I have high hopes this year for everyone close to me....
