More quotes by Kristin Armstrong
It's easy to lose sight of God when life is sweet and easy, but there is something awesome about despair, and it is the closeness of God when we are at our weakest.
Kristin Armstrong
Embrace your sweat. It is your essence and your emancipation.
Kristin Armstrong
Running has taken me in, and continues to comfort, heal and challenge me in all kinds of magical ways. I am not a 'good runner' because I am me. I am a good 'me' because I am a runner.

I think the other thing that's interesting about the women's peloton is that if you ask what their background is most have played college sports, and a lot of times have come off of injury and have gotten on a bike. A lot of us start post college in our mid 20's unlike in Europe where they start 10 years before that.
Kristin Armstrong
I feel like I've done everything I can, and what I wanted to do.
Kristin Armstrong
If we write our dreams and goals down, we dramatically increase our odds of realization. If we share them with others, they become potent and alive.

In America with the Olympics when you not only have a medal but a gold medal all of a sudden people come out of the wood work and you're treated a little bit differently. I guess that's where my personality is, that's where I just can't get used to all this.

I avoid the carwash when I think it might rain anytime in the near future, which means I drive around the majority of the time in a pollen and bird poop covered car. This presents a stand off between Neat Freakshow and Practical Pennypincher, and Neat Freak usually triumphs. And then it rains.
Kristin Armstrong
I'm not the kind to go out and tell people 'Oh yeah I'm a gold medalist.'
Kristin Armstrong
I think once an athlete always an athlete and once you have a competitive nature about you, in general, it's hard to let go. Whether you're going to take it into medicine or take it into sport, the competitive drive never really leaves.
Kristin Armstrong
We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.
Kristin Armstrong
It's not only moving that creates new starting points. Sometimes all it takes is a subtle shift in perspective, an opening of the mind, an intentional pause and reset, or a new route to start to see new options and new possibilities.
Kristin Armstrong
I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency .
Kristin Armstrong
To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.
Kristin Armstrong
I never imagined that divorce would be part of my life history or my family's legacy. When people say that divorce can be more painful than death, I understand why. But like any great trial, God uses everything for good, if we allow Him to heal us.
Kristin Armstrong
I don't think that the Olympic games are a good place to bring up any political issues because it should be about the athletes and about coming together. This year's motto was One World, One Dream and to take that away it's just not a good time.
Kristin Armstrong
Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.
Kristin Armstrong
I would love to end my European campaign with the World Championship stripes on my back. But everything else that I have in my mind right now is to continue working with and having my little camps for women cyclists.

Life is too sweet and too short to express our affection with just our thumbs. Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.
