Stay inspired to train and race....
 It can be really hard to stay focused on endurance sports training. Whether its' the cold weather, the holidays (with all it's temptations) or just plain old burn out it happens to all of us and we want to keep inspiring you to stick with it. Each month we'll give you a look at some truly inspirational lives and stories that will make you realize how lucky you are to be able to train, compete and finish each race.

The irony of what happened to Scott Dolezal on the morning of Aug. 1, 2009, is that he was in the best shape of his life.
It was the annual time trial for the cross-country team at Westminster High, a prep school in Atlanta. For most of the runners, the race was about setting a new personal best. For Scott, it was about finishing.
In two previous trials he hadn't completed the 5K course, done in by a combination of the sweltering Georgia heat and poor conditioning that made any endurance test a challenge. Born with a congenital heart defect, Scott underwent heart surgery when he was a week old. The heart condition didn't affect him in most sports—he was the leading scorer on the jayvee lacrosse team as a sophomore—but cross-country was torture. "Honestly, he was awful," says his father, Craig. "If he didn't finish last, he'd finish second to last."
That Scott was back on the team as a junior was a testament both to his charismatic coach, Joe Tribble, and to Scott's perseverance. For the first time he'd spent the summer training, and he was ready. The race began, and as always Scott drifted to the rear of the pack, his breath coming in short, labored bursts. "He looked like he was suffering," says his dad, "but he always looked like he was suffering."
