I don't feel like myself unless I run. It's how I deal with sadness and happiness. I need it. It's like therapy.

Do the work. Do the analysis. But feel your run. Feel your race. Feel the joy that is running.

Acknowledge all of your small victories. They will eventually add up to something great.

Watching the world's best compete fires you up to achieve your own feats of greatness. When it comes to running, participation and spectating go hand in hand.

As badly as I want a medal, I know there is a lot of luck involved in that. I want to put myself in position to be in the top three, give it my all and hope luck comes my way.

It doesn't matter how fast or how far you're going. If you're putting on your shoes and going out for a run, you are a runner, you are in that club.

---

We train together to make each other great.
