If It Comes Easy, If

Never, However, Do I Take Shortcuts. There Is Not Path Of Least Resistance In My Training. What I Do Equates To Hard Manual Labor, Disciplined Grunt Work. Once You Permit Yourself To Compromise, You Fail Yourself. You Might Be Able To Fool Some People, But You Can Never Fool Yourself. Your Toughest Critic Is The One You Face Every Morning In The Mirror.

There Is Magic In Misery. Just Ask Any Runner.

As Long As My Heart's Still In It, I'll Keep Going. If The Passion's There, Why Stop?... There'll Likely Be A Point Of Diminishing Returns, A Point Where My Strength Will Begin To Wane. Until Then, I'll Just Keep Plodding Onward, Putting One Foot In Front Of The Other To The Best Of My Ability. Smiling The Entire Time.

Even If You're Inches Away From The Finish, Never Take Success For Granted.

The Marathon Is An Opportunity For Redemption. Opportunity, Because The Outcome Is Uncertain. Opportunity, Because It Is Up To You, And Only You, To Make It Happen.
