When you see your numbers go up like that, it's a pretty good indication you're doing things right.

When we lost the Blue Angel (marathon), we lost a marquee event. I think we all agreed that we needed to get together and do something (to have another marathon). We couldn't let it go away.

I'll be sad if (the runners) don't get to watch that sunrise as they go down Scenic Highway in those first few miles. Some of the best parts of the course are in the beginning. There's nothing like seeing that sunrise as you run along Scenic.

Yearning is not only a good way to go crazy but also a pretty good place to hide out from hard truth.
