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

The true but rare runner's high is a zone that we enter when everything seems to click perfectly, when time stands still, and when we can run almost without effort.

To get to the finish line, you'll have to try lots of different paths.

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

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

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.
