Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough.

I run, therefore I am. And given the years improved fitness adds to our lives, if I did not run, maybe I would no longer be.

It can be said that the first half of the marathon is 20 miles long; the second half, 6.2 more.

Motivation remains key to the marathon: the motivation to begin; the motivation to continue; the motivation never to quit.

Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough.

Keep your dream in front of you. Never let it go regardless of how farfetched it might seem.

What is the purpose of any one workout? Enjoyment? Improvement? Coach said so? Whatever, the hour you run often is the best hour of the day.
