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.

Trying harder doesn’t always equal more success; it leads to more frustration, less satisfaction, and giving up.

Every human being born within the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.

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

Every day gives you an opportunity to improve. With every run, you can try to be better. Not just a better runner, but a better person.

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

Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.
