Page ix Acknowledgments While running down the road of life, literally and figuratively speaking, I've met many wonderful people who became my mentors, friends, and running partners. Their help and support enabled me to step off the beaten path and blaze my own trail. Special thanks to Jeff Galloway and Sally Edwards for continually sharing their wisdom and expertise about health, fitness, business, and life. To the love of my life, Bob Venditti; my best friend, Charlis McKay; my sister, Francis Pease; and my mom, Betty Sampson. They keep me grounded and offer helping hands without being asked. To my literary agent, Nancy Crossman, my copyeditor Janet Byron, and Roxbury Park/Lowell House and Contemporary Books for giving me the opportunity to share my passion for running. And to all the runners, walkers, and others who contributed in some way to this book including Bob and Jean Anderson, Noel Dybdal, Diane Etheridge, Allen and Lynda Estes, Lisa Glaser, Joe Henderson, Jeanette Link, Gary Moran, Lynn Yamamoto, and the folks at Fleet Feet.
