Unless you have a specific injury or a disease, I think a lot of people don't quite understand. I think a lot of people put arthritis in the same category. There's a real difference from someone whose joints swell, that's probably rheumatoid arthritis, than what I have.

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.

Thank God for running. It is the ultimate detox for me, whether my poison is bubbles, a foul mood, or a bad attitude. If I combat inertia, get out, and get moving, eventually every kind of toxin works its way out.

I think the other thing that's interesting about the women's peloton is that if you ask what their background is most have played college sports, and a lot of times have come off of injury and have gotten on a bike. A lot of us start post college in our mid 20's unlike in Europe where they start 10 years before that.

Life is too sweet and too short to express our affection with just our thumbs. Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.

Running is always an exercise in humility.

In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul.
