Running allows me to set my mind free. Nothing seems impossible, nothing unattainable.

Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Acknowledge all of your small victories. They will eventually add up to something great.

That's the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life it.

Don't try to rush progress. Remember -- a step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. Keep believing.

Do the work. Do the analysis. But feel your run. Feel your race. Feel the joy that is running.

Be of comfort, and your heavy sorrow Part equally among us; storms divided, Abate their force, and with less rage are guided.

Destroy the seed and the plant will never grow. Man alone, of all creatures of earth, can change his thought pattern and become the architect of his destiny.

I don't stay anywhere. I visit. I observe. I leave. I don't ever stay.

Stay consistent with your message and who you are.
