As athletes, we have ups and downs. Unfortunately, you can't pick the days they come on.

I love challenges and hurdles because they are opportunities.

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.

Run in places you love with people you like. Enjoying your surroundings and training partners will strengthen your commitment to running and bring out the best in you.

We all know that if you run, you are pretty much choosing a life of success because of it.

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.
