PERSONAL NOTES & QUOTES: Plain and simple, I love outdoor sports and racing. "Unless you're pushing yourself, you're not living to the fullest. You can't be afraid to fail, but unless you fail, you haven't pushed hard enough. If you look at successful people and happy people, they fail a lot, because they're constantly trying to go further and expand." -- Dean Karnazes
I'm always trying to improve.
