  • All the hard work, all the sweat, tears, side aches and leg cramps: it’s all revealed and worth it on race day.
  • So Nick R. falls in love with me ;)
  • Because I love talking to the Ida girls after a race.
  • So I can congratulate Kayandra and Ashley and not feel like I'm not as good as them.
  • The difference between the mile and the marathon is the difference between burning your fingers with a match and being slowly roasted over hot coals. -Hal Higdon
  • There is an itch in runners. ~Arnold Hano
  • Running is the greatest metaphor for life because you get out of it what you put into it.
  • Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts. ~Steve Prefontaine
  • I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs. ~Jesse Owens
  • There are thousands that do, but millions that don't.
  • I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart.
  • Citius, altius, fortius...swifter, higher, stronger.
  • If I don't run for a few days, I feel like my insides are dirty. The run kind of scrubs my veins and arteries, and then all starts to feel right with the world. I'm not one of those fanatical people that if I miss a run, I go nuts. But when it's something you love, you make sure you have the time to do it.
  • To make yourself PROUD. :)
  • Better sore than sorry
  • Four numbers: 28:46.
  • So I can win the regional meet and go to STATES.
  • So I can be a big deal
  • If Pre was your coach, he would expect better. He would push you and help you and you would win, but you don't know it now, but he's there running with you, and you can run BETTER than your BEST.
  • You'll live longer and better and happier.
  • Why NOT run?
  • The difference between being invisible and being a champion.
  • To run in college.
  • Because if I work my ass off now and get a scholarship, I wont have to work my ass off later.
