I'm not trying to take more of the pie for myself. I'm trying to make the pie larger for everyone.

Toeing the starting line of a marathon, regardless of the language you speak, the God you worship or the color of your skin, we all stand as equal. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people ran.

If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations.

Sure I'm cut but not for the sake of vanity.

Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.

Pain is the body's way of ridding itself of weakness.

As long as my heart's still in it, I'll keep going. If the passion's there, why stop?... There'll likely be a point of diminishing returns, a point where my strength will begin to wane. Until then, I'll just keep plodding onward, putting one foot in front of the other to the best of my ability. Smiling the entire time.
