After we put my son to bed, my husband and I curl up and watch a movie or TV. That's when I finally put up my feet and have my glass of wine and a brownie.

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

---

Get out there and do what you love!

---

It doesn't matter how fast or how far you're going. If you're putting on your shoes and going out for a run, you are a runner, you are in that club.

---

One skill that separates good from almost-good runners is an ability to concentrate for an entire race, whether it is a mile or a marathon.

---

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

---

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

---

We train together to make each other great.

---

Set small goals along the way and don't be overwhelmed by the process.

---

As badly as I want a medal, I know there is a lot of luck involved in that. I want to put myself in position to be in the top three, give it my all and hope luck comes my way.
