Bronze Shoe Award

The vulnerable moment when we share a goal, the grit and grime we endure to train for it, the perseverance when things don’t go according to plan, the hours we push through when we don’t want to, and the sweet victory when we conquer the mountain, smile at the peak, and the mind starts planning the next one!
