Sometimes you've got to go through hell to get to heaven.

I never feel more alive than when I'm in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring it!

I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary.

As long as my heart's still in it, I'll keep going. If the passion's there, why stop?

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.
