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?

I look at victory as milestones on a very long highway.

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

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

Love yourself, for who and what you are; protect your dream and develop your talent to the fullest extent.

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.
