Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory Quotes

“Each day, I noticed Coach sent us off with a positive comment. “It’s a great day to work together toward our goals,” he’d say after we’d gathered for the workout. On a particularly windy day, it would be: “What a great day to challenge and shape our perseverance.” Sometimes his words were simple—“Okay, let’s go”—and it was his upbeat, let’s-get-it-done inflection that set the tone for the workout.”

“When I looked at recreational runners, I was amazed at how well they balanced family, careers, and running. Shouldn’t I have it easier since running and my career are one and the same? At a race, I asked a father of twins how he did it. He responded quickly: clear priorities. So I set mine. I decided health and family would come first, and running and career would come second.”
