Pick your battles, and accept yourself for who you are.

When things are tough, you get tougher.

There is a special mystique about the marathon, for example, because of its length-but that's just the bit you do at the end of an Ironman

Just seize every opportunity you have, embrace every experience. Make a mark, for all the right reasons.

It's not records I chase, it's self-improvement. And that cannot be done by taking it easy.

I run to feel complete, to feel alive, to feel happy, and to feel free. I run to visit beautiful places, to overcome my fears, and to remind myself - and others - that our limits may not be where we think they are.

Never, ever give up. And smile
