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.

Racing is the fun part; it's the reward of all the hard work.

Hill sprints are good for everyone!

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

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

Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to dream big. You're living your life with hope, that's a powerful thing.
