I'm tall and have executive styled hair, I deserve a raise.

I put my pants on one leg at a time just like you. The difference is, once I get my pants on I make sales! Coffee is for closers!

It's always going to raise suspicion if we get to Beijing and they haven't done anything for three years and all of a sudden we've got names that we've never heard of showing up in the finals.

Colour can raise the dead.

My sun sets to raise again.

For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that’s why I’ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I’m no great runner, by any means. I’m at an ordinary – or perhaps more like mediocre – level. But that’s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.
