After college I picked my races to be one race every two weeks. That gave me time to recover. I raced just as fast as my legs would carry me. At the end of every race there was nothing left. I walked off the track completely spent!

I had on my team a girl who at age twelve just missed the world mile record for her age group. But at 20 she just couldn't run.

The 3-minute mile goal is to teach runners that the impossible is where goals should be set.

I should be doing that too. I should be out there running and racing. I should be taking care of my body.

Run with your heart instead of your mind. When you think with your mind, you think of the things you can and can't do. But when you run with your heart you forget about what you can't do, and you just go out and do it.

Goals should be impossible! You should tread FEARLESSLY where the brave dare not go.

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