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.

More quotes by 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.
Kristin Armstrong
It's tough though because of the whole part about getting sponsors and people out to watch women's cycling. I think the only way that women can really work it is that we have to work our way more into these big grand tours that the men have like the Tour de Georgia, Tour of Utah, and Tour of California.
Kristin Armstrong
Running fills a need so we make fewer demands on others. Running reveals the roots of negative thinking, so the weeds can be pulled. Running reconnects the soul to the source, inspiring hope and creativity.
Kristin Armstrong
It's funny because when there's something written about me in Velonews or Cyclingnews, the headline isn't the other Armstrong its Armstrong wins another race. With Lance in retirement, everyone I know goes to those sites because they think Lance is racing again.
Kristin Armstrong
That's what our training is for, we practice not panicking, we practice breathing, we practice looking directly at the thing that scares us until we stop flinching, we practice overriding our Can't.
Kristin Armstrong
Life is too sweet and too short to express our affection with just our thumbs. Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.
Kristin Armstrong
The first day I was told that I had osteoarthritis, I thought it was the worst thing that could possibly happen to me I was done. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't run so my life was over. But because I'm a competitive person, I wasn't going to let anything slow me down and I turned it around and made it a positive.

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.
Kristin Armstrong
Cycling is such an endurance sport. I don't think it's the worst thing ever to start when you're in your twenties.
Kristin Armstrong
What I have learned about the sport of cycling is that you have to love it to do it because you're not going to retire off of it.
Kristin Armstrong
I'm not the kind to go out and tell people 'Oh yeah I'm a gold medalist.'
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 love the thought of not knowing how things will turn out but the willingness to invest anyway.
Kristin Armstrong
I think USA Cycling really needs to ride this wave and start looking at growing the sport. It's a tough one because cycling is such an endurance sport.
Kristin Armstrong
When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters.
Kristin Armstrong
Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away.
Kristin Armstrong
A run has never returned me exactly the same. I go, I grow.
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 became a lot more educated on this arthritis thing when I was diagnosed with it, but basically OA is a degenerative disease, which is definitely something that you're not going to be able to stop because it's going to be ongoing, but there are certain things you can do to slow down the progression.
Kristin Armstrong
I think I get used to, even addicted to, the feelings associated with the end of a long training run. I love feeling empty, clean, worn out, starving, and sweat-purged. I love the good ache of muscles that have done me proud. I love the way a cold beer tastes later that afternoon. I love the way my body feels light and sinewy.
