"Racing is the fun part; it's the reward of all the hard work."
"My thoughts before a big race are usually pretty simple. I tell myself: 'Get out of the blocks, run your race, stay relaxed. If you run your race, you'll win... channel your energy. Focus.'"
"Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie - those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running - the proverbial icing on the cake - has always been racing."
"There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win."
"My times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others."
"Running is in my blood—the adrenaline flows before the races, the love/hate of butterflies in your stomach."
