The marathon can humble you.

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.

Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

Lauryn Hill, P-Funk, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy - I have a very diverse palate for music. I can go from Judy Garland to Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder to Rachmaninoff. I just love great music.

Just be yourself and wear deodorant.

If life is a soap opera you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to get to the final credits.
