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.

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

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

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.

Every time I fail I assume I will be a stronger person for it.

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

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