Wanting to win races is detrimental to courage. You tend to run too conservatively because you want to wait and sprint. If you are there to force the pace, to CREATE greatness rather than to have greatness, Courageous moves are a part of your race.

COURAGE is not a quality you teach. Courage is the by-product of self-discipline. It is an ATTITUDE.

Setting goals that have already been achieved is a cop-out.

This life is made to change all reality. We are here for the benefit, happiness, and welfare of a new reality; a new direction.

There are champions in every neighborhood. Anyone can run to the very top. ANYONE! But you have to (a) start right, (b) think right, and (c) believe. Most runners get lost in one or more of those three steps.

I always enjoyed the training more than I did the racing. There was a high level of anxiety in racing that I did not enjoy. Training runs set me FREE. I could imagine the race in my mind and race as if it were the actual race.

Humans are a TOUGH animal! We can do anything.
