Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it
Give it everything you've got. Don't go down without a fight. And most importantly, leave it all out on the course.
I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it
Your training and mileage mean nothing if you don't have guts. You have to be willing to make moves and push yourself harder than anyone else. Gutsy running is what sets apart competitors from runners.
It's not about who's the best - it's about who can take the most pain
You can have all the talent and training in the world, but if you aren't willing to make it hurt than you won't reach your full potential. Conversely, those that are willing to push themselves to the limit will beat people they otherwise wouldn't have.
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift
From the starting line to the finish line, give it everything you have. When you cross that finish line you should have no regrets.
No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me
Run your race, not your competitions'. Set the pace and keep everyone honest.
