Want a strong, solid relationship that is willing to go the distance? Get to know your running shoes.

The marathon is an opportunity for redemption. Opportunity, because the outcome is uncertain. Opportunity, because it is up to you, and only you, to make it happen.

I went to college, grad school. I got an M.B.A., had a really cush corporate job. But I was just bored stiff. I didn't fit that mold.

For me, as for so many runners, there really are no finish lines. Runs end; running doesn't.

The only one who can tell you "You can't" is you. And you don't have to listen.-Nike

I eat nothing that's processed or refined - no high-fructose corn syrup, no sugar, no trans-fats. I eat a lot of fish and monounsaturated fats from olives, olive oil and nuts. A lot of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables. No bread. No gluten. No wheat. No rice.

I have my whole office set-up at waist level; I don't sit at all during the day. Sitting, to me, is the devil.
