That's the beauty of starting lines: Until you begin a new venture, you never know what awaits you.

As we run, we become.

Everyone stumbles at one time or another. It's the human condition

It's not about speed and gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped.

It's not about how fast you go. It's not about how far you go. It's a process.

Running has taught me, perhaps more than anything else, that there's no reason to fear starting lines... or other new beginnings.

It's wrong to believe that you need a certain physical body type to run. All body types can run. It's not about your legs, muscles, or cellulite. It's not about the physical side of things. If you train your brain, your body will follow. It's that simple. The hard part isn't getting your body in shape. The hard part is getting your mind in shape.
