I never did cross training or lifted weights or put anything between myself and my passion for running.

Kids are afraid that if they race too fast they will get tired. Way too much fear and way too little COURAGE.

My key to victory was that I always went out way too fast. Too fast erases every other race strategy out there. Everyone is hanging on for dear life or they give up.

Set a new standard. Change reality. Break ground to something new and different. That achievement will live forever just because you WERE somebody special!

Everyone dies whether one is good in their lifetime or evil in their lifetime. So virtue has no payback. Life is meaningless. When you die, you die!

COURAGE is not a quality you teach. Courage is the by-product of self-discipline. It is an ATTITUDE.

The FEAR of becoming dehydrated causes dehydration. As with so many things in our life, it is because we KNOW it is a problem that it is a problem.

If you KNOW dehydration is a problem in long runs it becomes a problem in long runs.

I should be doing that too. I should be out there running and racing. I should be taking care of my body.

Set a master goal for your running and for your life...

Based on my experience; I would develop fast speed before anything else. Get your young runners so they can run and teach them speed.

Emotions change. Truth doesn't. What will you build your life upon?

As it enters the ear, does it come in like broken glass, or does it come in like honey?

I want people to think about everyone in their life, and their responsibilities to their friends, their families and their country.

The Devil fears the word of God, He can't bite it; it breaks his teeth.

The good Shepherd dog knows his master almost better than himself and must wonder indeed at the lack of the reverse.

A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim.

A great man is one who has not lost the child's heart.

Laughter is the very essence of religion. Seriousness is never religious, cannot be religious. Seriousness is of the ego, part of the very disease. Laughter is egolessness.

When you conceive something in your mind, know it is a fact, and that there can be no question about its manifestation.

A positive attitude and personal motivation allow you to remain excited about what you are doing - no matter how difficult the challenges may be day to day.
