Thank You

Thank You: Austin Chronicle, Zen Food Fast, Pearl Izumi, RunTex, City of Austin, Pure Fitness, Clif Bar, Brain and Spine Center.

I would like to thank you for helping me achieve a goal that I have struggled with. The support you gave was just a seed, but without that seed I would not have been able to sprout. You took a well diverse group of individuals, and planted a dream that soon became an achieved goal.

Over the past two months. I have learned teamwork, patients, support, how to push, and stay focused, and I were not getting paid for it. I thank you for giving space to upload photos and pictures to express my progress. I really did not think I was going to complete this goal in my life. I will never forget this year. So I thank you

Austin Chronicle - Thank you for giving me this opportunity to push my self and the incentives, which helped along the way. I give your team a very big hug, for giving me the confidence that I too can take part of a healthier life. I do hope this contuse as the years pass. You did such a good job, and I enjoyed being part of the beta team.

Pearl Izumi – My feet thank you very much. I was so happy to hear I was going to receive shoes for training. I never knew the type of shoes to get. You made a client for life. There are many shoes for different type of feet and now that we found the Syncro Float 2's, they are so comfortable and look good on me; I may have to buy another pair. Thank you for your patients in working with me.

Zen Food Fast - Yum! Yum! I never had Japanese food, and you have now excited my taste buds. Thank you for delivering us hot food, every Saturday morning. That was very kind of you to offer us hot nutritious meals, and giving those meal plan options. I have told many people of how great your food is. I will be dinning there often, so keep the light on, the grill hot and new meals coming.

RunTex University and Brain/Spine Center—I want to thank you for all the support of helping us find the right shoes and if not helping us find the ones that would work. Patrick thank you for pushing, you never gave up on us not matter what! Thank you for giving me advice and knowledge of what my body needs to be prepared for this goal.

Cassandra, Greg, Lizzie, Ian, Christi, Drew, Ingrid, Chris, Christine, Katie - I want to thank you for your support, teamwork, encouragement, and understanding. I know for sure I could not have done this without you. I am glad I have made a friend in each one of y'all. I could have not asked to be teamed with a better group than you.

Special Thanks to My Family, Friends, and Joanna (new friend), thank you for everything that you have done for me, the votes, words of encouragement and keeping me stress free during certain moments.

I wish you all a Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years
