Running has taken me in, and continues to comfort, heal and challenge me in all kinds of magical ways. I am not a 'good runner' because I am me. I am a good 'me' because I am a runner.

When it comes down to it, determination has a greater impact than giftedness.

When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.

Running is always an exercise in humility.

If we write our dreams and goals down, we dramatically increase our odds of realization. If we share them with others, they become potent and alive.

Embrace your sweat. It is your essence and your emancipation.

When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters.

It's easy to lose sight of God when life is sweet and easy, but there is something awesome about despair, and it is the closeness of God when we are at our weakest.

I love the big fresh starts, the clean slates like birthdays and new years, but I also really like the idea that we can get up every morning and start over.

Times of transition are strenuous, but I love them. They are an opportunity to purge, rethink priorities, and be intentional about new habits. We can make our new normal any way we want.

A run has never returned me exactly the same. I go, I grow.

...there is a void in my guts which can only be filled by songs.

The world outside the window is beautiful only if you try to find beauty in those what you see

Where we are going is touching the invisible, invisible becoming visible...

You show me a great program and I'll show you a passionate individual somewhere behind it.

A data structure is just a stupid programming language.

I have always believed that the only way to cope with a cash crisis is not to contract but to try to expand out of it.

What was I up to, you may ask? I certainly didn't want to meet Monsieur Evil again or creepy old Lord Salamander.

The thought came to me that all one loves in art becomes beautiful. Beauty is nothing but the expression of the fact that something is being loved. Only thus could she be defined.

Michael Jackson is everywhere. I can't not listen to what we did because it's everywhere. I listen to it all the time whether I want to or not.
