As athletes, we have ups and downs. Unfortunately, you can't pick the days they come on.
I simply adore the exhaustion that comes with training hard.
I felt my throat start to close up, and I didn't think I was getting enough oxygen. I was scared, and I thought about quitting. But you don't want to quit when you've trained so hard and long for one race.
Sometimes the moments that challenge us the most, define us.
A goal is just an awesome way to force growth on yourself.
I've always taken the philosophy that you have to dream a little in this sport. If you stay in your comfort zone, you're not going to do anything special.
