"No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch!"

On those days, I beat myself because I'm nursing back a pulled hamstring or whatever, I will remember this!

    This one is motivating for just life in general for me:

    "You're growing up, and rain sort of remains on the branches of a tree that will someday rule the earth. That's good that there is rain. It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions, and it clears the streets of the silent armies... so we can dance."

    "There are no shortcuts to running faster. You have to stay focused on your goals, and you have to do all your drills."

    ~quote from my high school track team handbook... I graduated in 1998 and I still think of this when I want to give up on something

    The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there…as long as you’re willing to be honest
    with yourself about the preparation and work involved. There are no back doors, no free rides. There’s just you, this moment, and a choice!

    "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"
