For Me, As For So Many Runners,

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.

I Never Feel More Alive Than When I'm In Great Pain, Struggling Against Insurmountable Odds And Untold Adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring It!

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.

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.

If It Felt Good, You Didn't Push Hard Enough. It's Supposed To Hurt Like Hell.
