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.

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 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.

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

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

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