Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.

I think I bit off more than I could chew. I thought the marathon would be easier. For the level of condition that I have now... that was without a doubt the hardest physical thing I have ever done.

The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.

Anything is possible, but you have to believe and you have to fight.

It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say: 'Enough is enough.'

So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.
