There will always be something to strive for. My hope is for the heart to strive forever.

Running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are.

Winning is neither everything nor the only thing. It is one of many things.

Recognize your victories.

When I first started running, I was so embarrassed I'd walk when cars passed me. I'd pretend I was looking at the flowers!

Every time I fail, I assume I will be a stronger person for it. I keep on running figuratively and literally, despite a limp that gets more noticeable with each passing season, because for me there has always been a place to go and a terrible urgency to get there.

Running is 80 percent mental.
