Quote by Heather "Anish" Anderson

“I want to set a record. Not just any record, but an athletic record. One that everyone will know me for. One that my dad will be proud of. I don't know what it will be, but I will do it. I have a lot of weaknesses, but I have two critical strengths. I am stubborn and I am smart.”

But as I ran on sore legs to keep up with Icecap, my tendency toward silence stressed me.”
