Every time I fail, I assume I will be a stronger person for it. I keep on running figuratively and literally, despite a limp that gets more noticeable with each passing season, because for me there has always been a place to go and a terrible urgency to get there.

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

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

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

Keep varying the program. Your body will tell you what to do.

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.

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