Yes, you can.

A couple weeks ago, my roommate Sandra dove into the vaults of this blog, mentioning that she felt inspired by the events surrounding the marathon I ran in 2004.

My coworker then had told me about the Father-Son duo, the Hoyt's, who have been competing in marathons, ultra marathons and the Ironman (a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 bike ride, followed by a 26.2 run). The thing is, the son, Rick Hoyt, is a mute quadrapelegic.

Their story continues to touch endurance athletes around the world. During moments in your training, or in your life in general, we can remember that with a bit of love, some hard work, and encouragement,we too can say, "Yes. I can."
