1999 Season

my mentor is Sandie Johnson. She is my neighbor and we have been friends for a couple of years now. I watched Sandie go through the program for the first time last fall. Her enthusiasm for the physical challenge and her excitement in getting the support from the team made a huge impression on me. I was inspired by what I saw happen to her, both physically and spiritually. And I was hugely impressed that she actually went from a casual runner to completing a marathon.

She enjoyed the program so much she became a mentor last season and is back again this season. Her unflagging energy is definitely something to aspire to. And because we are neighbors I can't get away with any slacking off. :-)
