This is a great opportunity like torchlight was to branch out, meet new GHC employees who share your passion, make new friends, share or start your fitness journey with others, and accomplish something amazing. So invite your friends, family and co-workers, and come join me on an awesome run/walk. Keep up the great work. Best of luck to all.

Cause sometimes you feel tired, feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength and just pull that stuff out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.” ~ Eminem

One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.”

It is not of importance where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.”

Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.”~ Brian Tracy

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. ” ~ Confucius

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!” ~ Fort Minor lyrics
