I have a power word that I use-when I qualified for the Olympics in 2008, it was fighter. That way when I'm in the race and I get to those dark moments, I can think of the word and it evokes that emotion for me.

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

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

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

I don't feel like myself unless I run. It's how I deal with sadness and happiness. I need it. It's like therapy.

The journey isn't always perfect, but always worth taking.
