Every runner is an experiment of one.

We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.

Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.

It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.

I run each day to preserve the self I attained the day before and to secure the self yet to be.

Sport is singularly able to give us peak experience where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.

No matter how old I get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences.
