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.

I love the big fresh starts, the clean slates like birthdays and new years, but I also really like the idea that we can get up every morning and start over.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When it comes down to it, determination has a greater impact than giftedness.

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

I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful - for all of it.

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.

I love the thought of not knowing how things will turn out but the willingness to invest anyway.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.
