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

No one should ever be afraid of failing; it’s being afraid to give it your all in trying that I urge against. If there is one thing I have learned, particularly in my life as an athlete, it is that our limits may not be where we think they are. And, even when we think we’ve finally reached them, the next time we go there exploring we often find that they’ve moved again.

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.

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

No one should ever be afraid of failing; it's being afraid to give it your all in trying that I urge against.

It's when the discomfort strikes that they realize a strong mind is the most powerful weapon of all.

When things are tough, you get tougher.
