It isn’t a matter of getting the body you want, it’s a matter of doing the most you can with the body you have.

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.

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

Crossing the starting line may be an act of courage, but crossing the finish line is an act of faith. Faith is what kepes us going when nothing else will. Faith is the emotion that will give you victory over your past, the demons in your soul, & all of those voices that tell you what you can & cannot do & can & cannot be.

The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.

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.

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.
