Pain is the body's way of ridding itself of weakness.
I'm not trying to take more of the pie for myself. I'm trying to make the pie larger for everyone.
I run because it always takes me where I want to go.
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.
Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.
If someone had said to me before I started doing this that a human being is capable of running 100 miles nonstop, I would have just said: 'No way. I mean, how?' If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations.
