Recognize your victories.

Running is 80 percent mental.

You can't depend on other people, you have to run your own race.

Doing something for yourself like running, and using it to test yourself, will only make you feel better about your career or your family role.

The challenge and the energy running requires may be a selfish one, but it actually motivates me to be stronger in my relationships.

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!

Coffee doesn't do it for me; it's running that gets me going.
