One of my first races came over 10km in 2002. I won that race and it felt great. I would say that is when I first fell in love with running.
Where the marathon starts is after 30 kilometers. That's where you feel pain everywhere in your body. The muscles are really aching, and only the most prepared and well-organized athlete is going to do well after that.
I always say: a run in the morning is like eating a fruit a day - it chases he doctor away. It is good for your mind.
I am running to make history, to show that no human is limited. It's not about money, it's about showing a generation of people that there are no limits.
I've always found the secret is to stay fit and treat sport as a profession. I chose sport as a passion.
When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. There have been times when I have been flat-out to finish sixth, but you can't see that from the outside. In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. I pushed like mad, yet everyone was gathered around the winner and they were thinking that I was just trundling around. But that's motor racing. So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport is the long term. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
Behavior precedes belief - that is, most people must engage in a behavior before they accept that it is beneficial; then they see the results, and then they believe that it is the right thing to do....implementation precedes buy-in; it does not follow it.
To dig a straight furrow, the plowman needs to keep his eyes on a fixed point ahead of him. That keeps him on a true course. If, however, he happens to look back to see where he has been, his chances of straying are increased. The results are crooked and irregular furrows...Fix your attention on your...goals and never look back on your earlier problems....If our energies are focused not behind us but ahead of us--on eternal life and the joy of salvation--we assuredly will obtain it.
Failure seems to be nature's plan for preparing us for great responsibilities.
What you persist in doing gets easier. The task hasn't changed, but your ability to do it has increased.
You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.
