More quotes by Kristin Armstrong
We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.
Kristin Armstrong
I think I run my strongest when I run with joy, with gratitude, with focus, with grace. With that strategy in place I can push myself for pleasure, not punishment. Maybe you can only really go when you let go.
Kristin Armstrong
I was a runner and a soccer player living in Okinawa, Japan and I didn't have recruiters coming in to recruit me for sports. So how many kids out there and planning to go to college are super stud athletes but don't have a chance because they come from some podunk town and no one comes to watch them?
Kristin Armstrong
What's really appealing about women's cycling in America? If you took a poll in the women's peloton, I would bet you that 90% of the women have college degrees, and a lot of them have Masters. The women's peloton is very well educated.
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
I think it doesn't happen overnight, that's for sure. As the first gold medalist since 1984, I think cycling needs to ride that wave right now, because people are excited.
Kristin Armstrong
And when they start riding a lot of them have full time jobs and are taking vacation days to get by. All of a sudden it becomes so addictive because you're out there with a bunch of women just like yourself, well educated, taking your vacation days, not making any real money, but we're having a blast. And that's US cycling.
Kristin Armstrong
There is something magical about running after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.
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.
Kristin Armstrong
Times of transition are strenuous, but I love them. They are an opportunity to purge, rethink priorities, and be intentional about new habits. We can make our new normal any way we want.
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
Thank God for running. It is the ultimate detox for me, whether my poison is bubbles, a foul mood, or a bad attitude. If I combat inertia, get out, and get moving, eventually every kind of toxin works its way out.
Kristin Armstrong
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
I talk about role models a lot and wanting to be a role model for kids around me because I didn't have that growing up.
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
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
To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.
Kristin Armstrong
I find significance in all kinds of small details when I run I'm hyper aware of my surroundings, the sensations in my body, and the thoughts running through my mind. Everything is clearer, heightened. I might be more addicted to this clarity than I am to running itself.
Kristin Armstrong
Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.
