I'm not saying running could solve all of the world's problems, but I think it would be a good start.

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

Focus on where you are instead of where you wish you were. The joy will follow.

I didn't train all that time just to come here and get it over with as fast as I can

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.

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.

Marathons are about tenacity as much as talent.
