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.

When I ran across America, for 75 days I ate 10,000 calories a day. I still lost about five pounds.

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.

I run because if I didn’t, I’d be sluggish and glum and spend too much time on the couch. I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary. I run…to savor the trip along the way. Life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense. I like that.

Any goal worth achieving involves an element of risk.

Running is about finding your inner peace, and so is a life well lived.

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.
