Don't wait until you get hungry to eat. Eating throughout the day is best. And obviously sleep is important.

Nobody said it's going to be easy. You have to dig into yourself. Think about your family. Think about the journey itself. THINK IN THE MOMENT.

Most of us have enough areas in our lives where we have to meet others' expectations. Let your running be about your own hopes and dreams.

I run in Central Park, I love that place. That's the beauty of running, I had my jacket, my tight and my gloves - my gloves never leave my backpack. Just in case.

I think [my kids] are runners. They definitely have the background. I try to help them as much as I can.

But I also realize that winning doesn't always mean getting first place; it means getting the best out of yourself.

Once you've committed yourself to something, pace yourself to the finish line.
