You don't need any skill to run.......Every 3-year old knows how to run

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

I always tell beginning runners: Train your brain first. It's much more important than your heart or legs.

Winning has nothing to do with racing. Most days don't have races anyway. Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

Winning is not about headlines and hardware [medals]. It's only about attitude. A winner is a person who goes out today and every day and attempts to be the best runner and best person he can be. Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

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

It's what runners do. We keep on keeping on
