An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding. |
Early in my career I was accused of being overconfident and even cocky, but I really was confident that I had done the training and didn't see any other reason to say otherwise. |
I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards. |
I'm a traditional marathoner with a shuffling stride... I'm not the prettiest runner in the world, but I am efficient. |
I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school. |
If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances. |
This used to be a shipbuilding yard, |
We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport. |
