I think that with some education there are real possibilities at the high school and college level, but more so at the college level, to bring people into cycling.

Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.

In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul.

Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away.

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.

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.

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?

I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency .

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.

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.

I'm not the kind to go out and tell people 'Oh yeah I'm a gold medalist.'

I feel like I've done everything I can, and what I wanted to do.

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.

A run has never returned me exactly the same. I go, I grow.

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 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.

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.

To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.

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.
