I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

Runners are the ultimate celebration people. Running is just so intense, you're really experiencing life to the fullest.

The marathon can humble you.

Aiming for the marathon is a task of sorts which can include terrific highs and lows.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc

Every time I bomb out, I have to come back. I have a feeling after a bad race that my next one will be good.

I often lose motivation, but it's something I accept as normal.
