“I’ve been running ever since sixth grade. Running is the purest form of sport—it’s just mind over physical exhaustion. It’s all about willing yourself. There’s no other sport where it’s just as simple as beating the next guy with your feet. … [Running] is just such a simple thing, and to do a very human, simple thing, like running down by the dunes or running by the lake, you just feel one with nature. I love it.”
