Don't ever discourage someone from trying to better their life and health
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.
Set small goals along the way and don't be overwhelmed by the process.
Once you make the decision that you will not fail, the heart and the body will follow.
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.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
