Don't feel guilty about driving somewhere nice to run. If people can drive to a park to eat hot dogs, you can drive there to run.

If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.

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

The marathon can humble you.

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

The starting line of the New York Marathon is kind of like a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.
