I'm grateful for the road. It gets me in shape. I feel like I'm 25 years old after ther first or second week.
Beyond racing, I just love the art form of running, of conceiving new ideas like the 50 Marathons in 50 States in 50 Days. It's the ultimate expression of what I love to do, which is run, and travel, and see this great country.
I want to avoid injuries by running only road.
Twice a week I'll run fast quality workouts either on the track or road.
In the modern road-running era, digital photography has intersected with weekend-warrior culture, creating a golden age of social-media humblebragging. For some, the marathon course is sacred ground. For others, it's a personal movie set.
I did marathons long before they were popular, when people running round the streets were looked at oddly.
I've run the U.S.A. Ultra Championships.
I have always loved running on the roads, ever since I used to take part in relays for my club when I was 12 and 13. I felt really at home on the surface.
