I think the biggest thing was that I was putting pressure on myself leading up to Beijing. Now I am learning how to take that pressure off and seeing this as an incredible opportunity, but not like, 'I absolutely have to medal.'
The big thing is hydrating the day before the race. I will have 20 ounces of water right when I get up in the morning the day before, and I'll drink throughout the day.
I think some of the most celebrated moments in human achievement should be those times when everything is going against a person and they are down in the dumps but they simply choose to get up. That's real greatness!
I don't think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don't think about the mile I'm on right now, I don't think about the miles I've already covered. I think about what I'm doing right now, just being lost in the moment.
I have my own unique road that has had many exciting ups and heart-breaking downs, but one thing I know is that my journey is not over and the best is yet to come.
I was a runner who happened to be a Christian. I needed to become a Christian who happened to be a runner.
I think sometimes you can study guys and build them into giants that they are not.
I don't go to the start line expecting to win. I go to the start believing this could be the day when incredible things happen
The question I try and ask myself when I consider whether or not to train more is what is my body craving and what is my body ready to absorb? Sometimes pushing harder is not the answer. It takes self control, confidence, and intuition to know when to train and when to rest, but when in question error on the side of being over rested.
I am thankful that there are different seasons in life and training. I have learned to embrace each season realizing how important it is to allow the body, mind and spirit to fully cycle through each. My current season of marathon training is my favorite. I love the simple life of training and going after a goal with everything I have.
It's a long, hard road and it's going to have its bumps; there are going to be times when you fall and times when you don't feel like going on anymore, times when you're just crazy tired but it takes focusing on that one step you're taking. That's what I'm trying to do with the marathon; I don't think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don't think about the mile I'm on right now, I don't think about the miles I've already covered. I think about what I'm doing right now, just being lost in the moment.
The best way to become a mentally tough runner is to believe that you're a mentally tough runner
I'm constantly searching for the truth amidst a sea of confusion and uncertainty.
I'd want to have the power of mind control. If I had that one skill you'd always see at the bank loading up bags full of cash.
The fact that "LГ©on: The Professional" doesn't have every award in the world is a sign that it is underrated. I'm not even ashamed to say that I cried during every scene.
Nothing is worth your integrity. Not success, not money, not fame. Nothing.
More than the time, it's about how you feel - you want to be strong throughout the race.
It takes faith and the courage to risk failure in order to realize one's destiny. Having had my share of failures throughout my career I know that it is well worth the risk.
