Determination & Dreams

Do you know what tomorrow is? The start of the Iditarod Race!

Haven’t heard of that before? To learn more about the Iditarod, check out their main page http://www.iditarod.com/.

It is an 11 hundred mile race on dogsleds across Alaska and is also known as the “last great race”.

Now, why am I so excited about this? The determination that these teams show is unbelievable! I always love to cheer for the “underdog” of sorts, so I follow the Hardcore Huskies team. The team is led by Heather Siirtola, and last year she faced almost unbeatable odds. Rather than giving up, Heather pushed on and finished the race. Not just that, she signed up to do it again this year! Now THAT is determination to reach your goals. Wow.

I find this race to be inspiring, and a great tribute to attaining your dreams. Make sure you check it out, and think about what in your life could inspire you to be this determined. What dreams keep you going? Oh, and Go Hardcore Huskies!
