Lessons from the Finish Line

Lessons from the Finish Line is the inspiring story of one woman's self-imposed challenge to run twelve races in twelve consecutive months. Her journey was filled with many trials that she could have used as excuses to give up on her dream. Instead, she chose to stay the course and finish what she started when she wrote the statement, "I am a marathon mom, soaring through twelve races in twelve months" during a personal development seminar at her company's annual convention. If you are looking for the motivation to dream big and pursue your own goals with unrelenting determination, this book is for you.

"Ellen is a lot of things to a lot of different people. She is a wife, mother, foster parent, daughter, sister, friend, co-laborer in Christ, resource provider, encourager, connecter and numerous other titles that space just won't allow for me to share. She has also been a teacher to many people, including me. She has taught us that although achievement often only comes through hard work and sacrifice - hard work and sacrifice can be fun and very rewarding. I'm thankful for her life and I am thankful she decided to write this book. I know you will be too."
