"You'll always miss the shot you don't take"

Just get out there and do it!!!

During a race, my mind is full of questions...Who will come in 2nd?  or 3rd? -Nourredine Morceli

I want to win. That is the goal for everyone in my position. But there are a bunch of guys out there who think they are going to win it, and it is going to be a big battle. I saw last night that it is supposed to be cold, snowy and rainy. I could care less. I would rather it be cold and crappy, but if it is nice it is all the same to me.
I try to be flexible going into all my races; they always unfold differently than you expect. If a pack breaks away early, I will respond. If not, I can sit back. I am confident in my kick and confident in running up front. Whatever it takes to win, I think I have what it takes to do it.

Here is one I always tell myself during a race, "Run with your heart, not your legs,"

That is the stupidest thing i have ever heard on this site.  thats worse than the guy with the crazy running belt thing.  Maurice Green first sub 4 mile? First of all.  Maurice Green is a sprinter.  He has never even run a sub four mile.  second of all.  ever heard of someone named Rodger Bannister? IDIOT!

Heres one to say half way in a race when you feel like slowing down:
