Listen to everyone, follow no one.

Adventure books are my personal favorites. 'The Endurance,' a story about Ernest Shackleton's legendary Antarctica expedition, or 'Into Thin Air,' Jon Krakauer's personal account of the 1996 disaster on Mt Everest, are two notables.

Listen to everyone, follow no one.

Don't run with your legs, run with your heart.

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

Running is a simple, primitive act, and therein lays its power. For it is one of the few commonalities left between us as a human race.

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