Quotes from Deena Kastor, bronze medalist, marathon, 2004:
"I just love running. I love the invigoration of accomplishing goals every day. My goal of making the 2012 Olympic team is four years off, but each day that I'm out running I'm chiseling away at that goal. So there's a sense of daily gratification even before a long-term goal is reached."
"I love cross country. I love the ruggedness of it and battling the elements. It's just a gritty, tough way to run."
"I get as equally excited with good workouts as with good races."
"That for me kind of sums up what racing is all about; the preparation is what gives you all the tools and empowerment in the world. The race is a sweet reward for all the work you've done in the months leading up to it."
