Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run

I like to make something beautiful when I run ... it's style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.

Don't let fatigue make a coward of you.

No matter how hard you train, Somebody will train harder. No matter how hard you run, Somebody will run harder. No matter how hard you want it, Somebody will want it more, I am Somebody.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

A race is a work of art.

You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
