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.

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

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

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

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?

Recognize your victories.

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