My goal has always been to introduce other people to running. They might accomplish something they never thought they could.

Spend at least some of your training time, and other parts of your day, concentrating on what you are doing in training and visualizing your success.

Some people feel 'transformed' from the first day they begin running; others feel that it's just plain hard work. Most of us realize it is both. I know how great running can feel, but I also know it can feel not so great, even downright awful! It can be fun, but it takes work to have that fun.

The worst injury I ever had was a stress fracture from running.

I'm never going to run this again.

Every day I spend time on the treadmill. I am walking faster, stronger and harder than I was two months ago.

I don't think I would have been such a good runner if I hadn't enjoyed it.
