“Your biggest challenge isn’t someone else. It’s the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells CAN’T, but you don’t listen. You just push harder … and then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.”
