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

Watching the world's best compete fires you up to achieve your own feats of greatness. When it comes to running, participation and spectating go hand in hand.

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.

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

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

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

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