Any Goal Worth Achieving Involves

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.

Sometimes You've Got To Go Through Hell To Get To Heaven.

People Think I'm Crazy To Put Myself Through Such Torture, Though I Would Argue Otherwise. Somewhere Along The Line We Seem To Have Confused Comfort With Happiness... Dostoyevsky Had It Right: 'suffering Is The Sole Origin Of Consciousness.' Never Are My Senses More Engaged Than When The Pain Sets In. There Is A Magic In Misery. Just Ask Any Runner.

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.

I Run To Breathe The Fresh Air. I Run To Explore. I Run To Escape The Ordinary.
