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.

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!

My philosophy on running is, I don't dwell on it, I do it.

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.

Confidence is a belief in myself and my ability. I built my confidence through hard training. I believed there was no one out there working any harder than me.

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