'I hate bubbly people. They’re out of touch with themselves, others, and the world. Leaders who never feel discouraged are incomprehensible. Don’t trust anyone who’s always happy, excited, or pleased with life. Every leader fights a never ending battle for improvement, growth, excellence, and progress.

'I ran my first and only marathon a few years ago. I’ve run lots of halves, but only one full. I hope to do another this fall. I chose the Huntsville, AL marathon because it was small, flat and low on fanfare. I know some runners who love the interaction with people in a race. That is their motivation.
