Running allows me to set my mind free. Nothing seems impossible, nothing unattainable.

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

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

There are a million reasons why you can't. Focus on the few reasons why you can.

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

Be unrelenting. If you don't believe, then who will?
