If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.

The only magic in our lives as runners is the magic of consistency. Not every run will make you feel great.

Frustration is the first step towards improvement. I have no incentive to improve if I'm content with what I can do and if I'm completely satisfied with my pace, distance and form as a runner. It's only when I face frustration and use it to fuel my dedication that I feel myself moving forwards.

I'm not sure who invented dodgeball, but I can almost guarantee you that it wasn't the shortest kid in the class.

Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.

I am a runner because I run. Not because I run fast. Not because I run far. I am a runner because I say I am. And no one can tell me I'm not.

Marathons are about tenacity as much as talent.
