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.

More quotes by Kristin Armstrong
I love the thought of not knowing how things will turn out but the willingness to invest anyway.
Kristin Armstrong
I feel like I've done everything I can, and what I wanted to do.
Kristin Armstrong
Cycling is not impactful. Its just like when you are injured, have a knee surgery or something, there are so many things that you can still do, you just have to find that other passion that's out there.
Kristin Armstrong
I don't think it's the worst thing ever to start when you're in your twenties. You're not burnt out, you're going to stick around and most of the best cyclists are in their 30s.
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
Running is a grownup's lost link to playing outside.
Kristin Armstrong
Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.
Kristin Armstrong
We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.
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
I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way. Some people can shrug expectations off their shoulders like a cardigan, remaining cool and breezy. Others wear them like a parka with a stuck zipper, hot and stifling.
Kristin Armstrong
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
Running is always an exercise in humility.
Kristin Armstrong
I want to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to get more confident being uncertain. I don't want to shrink back just because something isn't easy. I want to push back, and make more room in the area between I can't and I can.
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
I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency .
Kristin Armstrong
Embrace your sweat. It is your essence and your emancipation.
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
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
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.
