Here’s my mantra: ‘Every mile is a gift.’

I always tell beginning runners: Train your brain first. It's much more important than your heart or legs.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint; pace yourself accordingly.

I have learned that there is no failure in running, or in life, as long as you keep moving.

The most powerful lesson you can learn in running? You're capable of much more than you think.

If you train your mind for running, everything else will be easy.

Winning has nothing to do with racing. Most days don't have races anyway. Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

It's not about speed and gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped.

To get to the finish line, you'll have to try lots of different paths.

As we run, we become.

So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing.

Life happens

People unconsciously want to reveal their inner urges.
