- Some days it just flows and I feel like I’m born to do this, other days it feels like I’m trudging through hell. Every day I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: keep showing up. #MondayMotivaton #TogetherForward
- Tried real hard today. Love that I get to do this for a living. Thank you @brooksrunning for all the support. Thank you fans for all the cheers. Thank you competitors for pushing me to be my best. #Atlanta2020
- Legs hurt more than my head this morning. Nailed the race - showed maturity at the after party. This is growth.
- Friendly reminder: getting in shape is hard, being in shape is awesome. Commit to it.

- Yesterday at this time: mentally preparing to conquer 26.2 miles on the roads of New York. Today: eating a cold slice of pizza while lying in bed and mentally preparing to walk for a coffee. This is downtime.
- 🚨Breaking: Went a full month without running a step. Heading out for my welcome back jog. Thoughts and prayers appreciated but not expected.
- 📸1: What you see on Strava. 📸2: What you don’t see on Strava. Comparing yourself to others is silly. Odds are you don’t have the full picture.
