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.

Running is 80 percent mental.

One hour with a child is like a ten-mile run.

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

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

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

Marathoning is a metaphor for life, so there are a lot of parallels you can draw. I tell people to follow your dream, follow your heart, follow your passion, run your own race and believe in yourself. I think anybody who wants to succeed has to have passion. My love for this sport, you can't instill it in someone else.
