Being a lifelong runner, knowing what running gives me, a variety of factors - that is what motivates me.

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

My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.

No one who works a forty hour week will ever beat me.

Every race is totally different.

My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.

I want to run until I can't run
