There are 2 goddesses in your heart, the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of wealth. Everyone thinks they need to get the wealth first and the wisdom will come. But they have it backwards. You have to give all your heart to the goddess of wisdom, give her all your love and attention and the goddess of wealth will become jealous and follow you - Joe Virgil

Think easy, light, smooth and fast

The most expensive running shoes cause more injury than cheaper shoes and it’s scientifically proven

More cushioning on a shoe, less protection it provides and more likely to get injured

Human beings are designed to run without shoes

Geranium is a very good anti-oxidant

You don’t stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running
