A lifestyle change begins with a vision and a single step.

The label of 'marathoner' has, from the beginning, been awarded to those who went the distance under their own power, whether they ran, walked, crawled or tiptoed. When you cross that finish line, you've entered an elite group. About one-tenth of one percent of the population has done it. Don't let anyone take that great achievement away from you.

Our bodies crave exercise, and reward us in so many ways when we do so.

Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.

A lifestyle change begins with a vision and a single step.

If you're laboring up a steep hill, imagine that a towrope is attached to the center of your chest, pulling you steadily toward the top.

To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.
