opportunity redemption outcomes
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.
running air ordinary
I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary.
running training marathon
I do a lot of marathons as training runs. If I'm somewhere and there's a marathon, I'll sign up and just go run it.
live-life grids
A lot of ultramarathoners are soloists. They're single and live lives off the grid.
running impact pedals
I have an ElliptiGO. It's a standup bicycle. You don't pedal; you stride on it. It allows me to have the same striding motion as running without the impact.
running rocks climbing
I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.

success granted inches
Even if you're inches away from the finish, never take success for granted.
running use novel
I love to run and I have some tips to keep it fresh and novel. I rarely use the same route twice. That keeps things new.
running race hydration
Running back-to-back races requires a certain tactical prudence. Going too hard in any one race might jeopardize your performance in another. Maintaining proper hydration and caloric equilibrium also becomes increasingly critical.
color people skins
Toeing the starting line of a marathon, regardless of the language you speak, the God you worship or the color of your skin, we all stand as equal. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people ran.
harder hard
Go out hard and finish harder.
compromise failing permit
Once you permit yourself to compromise, you fail yourself.
dream one-day chasing
If you keep chasing your dreams, one day you'll catch them.
