I Went To College, Grad School. I

I've Raced On All Seven Continents At Least Twice. I've Probably Run Thousands Of Races. But The Single Race That I'm Most Proud Is A 10k. Yes, A 10k. I Ran It With My Daughter On Her 10th Birthday.

I Run Because Long After My Footprints Fade Away, Maybe I Will Have Inspired A Few To Reject The Easy Path, Hit The Trails, Put One Foot In Front Of The Other, And Come To The Same Conclusion I Did: I Run Because It Always Takes Me Where I Want To Go.

Running Is A Simple, Primitive Act, And Therein Lays Its Power. For It Is One Of The Few Commonalities Left Between Us As A Human Race.

If Someone Had Said To Me Before I Started Doing This That A Human Being Is Capable Of Running 100 Miles Nonstop, I Would Have Just Said: 'no Way. I Mean, How?' If You Just Go Out There And Run 100 Miles, It Breaks Down A Lot Of Barriers In Terms Of Self-imposed Limitations.

If It Comes Easy, If It Doesn’t Require Extraordinary Effort, You’re Not Pushing Hard Enough. It’s Supposed To Hurt Like Hell.
