I've had the same dream for 20 years: running timed suicides on a basketball court and I cannot get my legs really going. (Think running in mud.)

I've lost track of all the awards Brenda Garrand has racked up in the last few years. In May, she claimed the 2011 Tribute to Women in Industry (TWIN) Award at the Maine

marketing and communications agency. In 2010, Ad Age named Garrand one of the Best Places to
Work in Media and Marketing.
