Running reminded me exactly who I am and what I am made of.

Every athlete has doubts. Elite runners in particular are insecure people. You need someone to affirm that what you are doing is right.

Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body.

The footing was really atrocious. I loved it. I really like Cross Country; you're one with the mud.

I brought killer intensity to my workouts… It’s not enough to just show up and do the workout. You have to bring something to it… What was your intention? If you are not believing with all fervour and relentlessness in what it is you want to do, no one is going to do that for you.

The freedom of cross country is so primitive. It's woman vs. nature.
