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

We run to undo the damage we've done to body and spirit. We run to find some part of ourselves yet undiscovered.

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

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.

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.

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.

Being inspired is fine for a week, and being motivated might work for a month or so, but to make any lifestyle change last a lifetime, you need dedication.
