More quotes by 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
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
In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul.
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
We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.
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
Running is always an exercise in humility.
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.
Kristin Armstrong
I feel like I've done everything I can, and what I wanted to do.
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
When it comes down to it, determination has a greater impact than giftedness.
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
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.
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
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
A run has never returned me exactly the same. I go, I grow.
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
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
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
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
