“When I was about 14 or 15, and running in a pretty muddy cross country race, one of my shoes stuck in the mud and came off. Boy, was I wild. To think that I had trained hard for this race and didn’t do up my shoelace tightly enough! I really got aggressive with myself, and I found myself starting to pass a lot of runners. As it turned out, I improved something like twenty places in that one race. But I never did get my shoe back.”
“Almost every part of the mile is tactically important: you can never
let down, never stop thinking, and you can be beaten at almost any
point. I suppose you could say it is like life.”

“Ask yourself: “Can I give more?”. The answer is usually: ‘Yes’.”

“I believe in the runner’s high, and I believe that those who are
passionate about running are the ones who experience it to the fullest
degree possible. To me, the runner’s high is a sensational reaction to
a great run! It’s an exhilarating feeling of satisfaction and
achievement. It’s like being on top of the world, and truthfully…
there’s nothing else quite like it!”
- Sasha Azevedo
