Acknowledge all of your small victories. They will eventually add up to something great.

Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to dream big. You're living your life with hope, that's a powerful thing.

Do the work. Do the analysis. But feel your run. Feel your race. Feel the joy that is running.

Don't ever discourage someone from trying to better their life and health

I try to think about positive things - how great my form is, how my arms are swinging, my breathing, how loud people are cheering. My sports psychologist taught me there are a million things telling you you can't keep going, but if you find the things that say you can, you're golden.

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.

Get out there and do what you love!
