Every single one of us possesses the strength to attempt something he isn't sure he can accomplish. It can be running a mile, or a 10K race, or 100 miles. It can be changing a career, losing 5 pounds, or telling someone you love her (or him).

But the longer and further I ran, the more I realized that what I was often chasing was a state of mind- a place where worries that seemed monumental melted away, where the beauty and timelessness of the universe, of the present moment, came into sharp focus.

What we eat is a matter of life and death.

Train where your fitness is NOW, not where you want to be.

Rational assessments too often led to rational surrenders.

You can hurt more than you ever thought possible, then continue until you discover that hurting isn't that big a deal.

Sometimes the road to wellness isnt a well-marked expressway.
