The injured runner is like a recent amputee victim, continually forgetting that the limb isn't there, crestfallen at each realization. What we need more than anything is a suitable prosthetic and an attitude adjustment.

Running is not who I am; it's something I do; it's something I love.

When you recognize that failing doesn't make you a failure, you give yourself permission to try all sorts of things.

Fear is gradually replaced by excitement and a simple desire to see what you can do on the day.

Anyone can train hard. Do you have the discipline to recover?

We can't expect to effectively move forward with half the population carrying sandbags.

Sometimes we push ourselves. We take a workout and we use it as a way to crack open our shell, let the pain rush in and push out the stagnant wounds of the heart. Sometimes a workout sets you free.
