Racing is the fun part; it's the reward of all the hard work.

Set small goals along the way and don't be overwhelmed by the process.

Erase from your mind that your preparation must be perfect. Hard work + dedication = a shot at your dreams. Keep believing.

Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Hill sprints are good for everyone!

It doesn't matter how fast or how far you're going. If you're putting on your shoes and going out for a run, you are a runner, you are in that club.

Don't try to rush progress. Remember -- a step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. Keep believing.
