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.

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.

Some sessions are stars and some sessions are stones, but in the end they are all rocks and we build upon them.

There's an importance of keeping an open mind. The brain is programmed to protect us, and that can mean imposing limits on what it thinks we can or should do. Constantly push at those limits, because the brain can be way too cautious.

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

If we let our head drop, our heart drops with it. Keep your head up, and your body is capable of amazing feats.

Hard work and an open mind - it's the only way to realize the potential that is inside every one of us.
