What I have learned about the sport of cycling is that you have to love it to do it because you're not going to retire off of it.

I think that with some education there are real possibilities at the high school and college level, but more so at the college level, to bring people into cycling.

It's easy to lose sight of God when life is sweet and easy, but there is something awesome about despair, and it is the closeness of God when we are at our weakest.

I talk about role models a lot and wanting to be a role model for kids around me because I didn't have that growing up.

Running has taken me in, and continues to comfort, heal and challenge me in all kinds of magical ways. I am not a 'good runner' because I am me. I am a good 'me' because I am a runner.

I would love to end my European campaign with the World Championship stripes on my back. But everything else that I have in my mind right now is to continue working with and having my little camps for women cyclists.

There is something magical about running; after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.
