There is magic in misery. Just ask any runner.

Runners are competitive folks. I think some might feel slighted they haven't got more recognition. I think they have a point. In running, you won't necessarily get noticed just for turning in good performances.

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

I love to run and I have some tips to keep it fresh and novel. I rarely use the same route twice. That keeps things new.

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.

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

I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.
