If you feel like eating, eat. Let your body tell you what it wants.

It's funny. I'm attracted to things that don't have any impact on life. People say I've done a great thing for women. I don't think I have. People say I've given people courage. That makes me feel good, but I don't see how I do that. I think my running is a selfish thing. But it provides the challenge that allows me to feel good about myself. How can I expect to do well in other activities if I don't feel good about myself?

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

There’s not a better feeling than when you have found that moment of balance and harmony when both running and life come together. Then you know why you run and that you couldn’t live without it.

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

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

Years ago, women sat in the kitchen drinking coffee and discussing life. Now they discuss the same topics while they run.
