I try to think about positive things - how great my form is, how my arms are swinging, my breathing, how loud people are cheering. My sports psychologist taught me there are a million things telling you you can't keep going, but if you find the things that say you can, you're golden.

Watching the world's best compete fires you up to achieve your own feats of greatness. When it comes to running, participation and spectating go hand in hand.

---

The journey isn't always perfect, but always worth taking.

---

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

There are a million reasons why you can't. Focus on the few reasons why you can.

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.

We train together to make each other great.

Be unrelenting. If you don't believe, then who will?

I don't feel like myself unless I run. It's how I deal with sadness and happiness. I need it. It's like therapy.

---

Get out there and do what you love!
