Quotes by David Hamel (?)

“It felt like we all had added our own page to local history, letting it be known that we also stood our ground here much like we did at nearby Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775. It was a continuation of the American spirit and resolve that no two Oklahoma City bombers, nor two Boston bombers, could ever truly destroy.”
― David Hamel

“You are a runner, a marathoner, the master of time management, meticulous planning, logistics, and travel. You are extremely versatile and adaptable. Somehow you make it all fit. Your WHY drives your WILL … it all comes back to your WHY.”
― David Hamel, Trifecta: 26 Years of 26.2: Chronicles of a Marathoner
