The marathon is a competition between your will and your possibilities

Our bodies crave exercise, and reward us in so many ways when we do so.

Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.

A lifestyle change begins with a vision and a single step.

We are designed to run and we increase our chance of daily happiness when we do so.

To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.

The more you frame the marathon as a stressful experience, the more negative messages you'll receive. But it's just as easy to frame it as a positively challenging journey.

The most important force inside you for feeling better all the time is the will to get more fit.

Best man describes himself by remarkable actions, not by persuasive words.

If men are given food, but no chastisement nor any work, they become insolent.

I won't ever shy away from a fight and if it makes sense down the road, I'll do it. But it will be on my terms.

Every time the light turns green, stay in the thick of competition.

...some people coddle their own afflictions the way others spoil small pedigreed dogs with cans of pate.

My hopes are that I can give my children security, health, and the confidence to create the life they want and serve others.

If I ever play Hamlet, it'll be in a dress!

A story invites both writer and reader into a kind of superficial ease: we want to slide along, pleasingly entertained, lost in the fictional dream.

Sit down to write what you have thought, and not to think what you shall write.
