Favorite quotes:
"When you’re a beginner, it is hard. And it’s not more hard for you than it is for anyone else starting. And because it’s hard, it’s not a reason to stop.”
"Being a beginner takes practice. So if you’re a beginner and you just want to give up, know that if you keep flexing that beginner muscle, that it will be easier to keep going.”
“Running, is just like everything else .. you have to start somewhere and then have a plan and then you’ll get somewhere.”
