We move forward, but we must stay in the present.

Overcoming the difficulties of an ultramarathon reminds me that I can overcome the difficulties of life

Nature's arena has a way of humbling and energizing us.

We move forward, but we must stay in the present.

For me, challenging myself with this type of endeavor [ultramarathons] brings the best out in me because even at the darkest, deepest moments when I feel like I can't go on, when I feel like there's no chance I could break the record or much less finish the trail, somehow I find that strength inside of me.

The reward of running — of anything — lies within us … We focus on something external to motivate us, but we need to remember that it’s the process of reaching for that prize — not the prize itself — that can bring us peace and joy.

Injuries are our best teachers.
