Kristin Armstrong Quotes

I don’t think it’s the worst thing ever to start when you’re in your twenties. You’re not burnt out, you’re going to stick around and most of the best cyclists are in their 30s Picture Quote #1

I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful - for all of it Picture Quote #1

Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Thank God for running. It is the ultimate detox for me, whether my poison is bubbles, a foul mood, or a bad attitude. If I combat inertia, get out, and get moving, eventually every kind of toxin works its way out Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Without running, I would have missed the joy of rain. What could be considered an inconvenience or a bummer to the inexperienced is actually a gift. Without running, I would miss a lot of things-like seeing cities in a certain way, or knowing certain people all the way to the core. I’m glad we don’t experience life through glass, under cover, or from the sidelines. Good things take miles Picture Quote #1

We postpone the finality of heartbreak by clinging to hope. Though this might be acceptable during early or transitional stages of grief, ultimately it is no way to live. We need both hands free to embrace life and accept love, and that’s impossible if one hand has a death grip on the past Picture Quote #1

I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency Picture Quote #1

Every year, I appreciate life more because of the deeper understanding of what it took to get this far Picture Quote #1

We all have our ways of handling fear and managing trying; jumping in or climbing down, a direct approach or a delay, joyful or miserable, a spirit of adventure, or God help me, get this thing over with Picture Quote #1

Before I got divorced, I was personally unfamiliar with trial, or at least trial of serious, heart-wrenching proportions. I figured that life went smoothly if you tried hard, and if you messed up, or things weren’t working out, you just tried harder Picture Quote #1

I find significance in all kinds of small details when I run; I’m hyper aware of my surroundings, the sensations in my body, and the thoughts running through my mind. Everything is clearer, heightened Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Circumstances in life often take us places that we never intended to go. We visit some places of beauty, others of pain and desolation Picture Quote #1

To be honest, if I had to pick somebody to be related to in sport, who’s better than Lance Armstrong with what he’s done for the sport and with his cancer foundation Picture Quote #1

When the seasons shift, even the subtle beginning, the scent of a promised change, I feel something stir inside me. Hopefulness? Gratitude? Openness? Whatever it is, it’s welcome Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows I drink a lot of Diet Coke, so...I drink chocolate milk after races as my recovery drink, and you won’t ever find me without a peanut butter sandwich in my bag at races or without a jar of peanut butter when I am heading to Europe Picture Quote #1

I want to be intentional about my freedom - in choosing it, honoring it, and protecting it. One of the best feelings I know is feeling truly free Picture Quote #1

The time I spend in the morning - praying, sipping coffee, and coming up with my list - is a ritual I relish. I have done it for so long now that I subconsciously measure whether or not the things I’m doing match with what I should be doing, what I want to be doing, and the life I want to live Picture Quote #1

What’s really appealing about women’s cycling in America? If you took a poll in the women’s peloton, I would bet you that 90% of the women have college degrees, and a lot of them have Masters. The women’s peloton is very well educated Picture Quote #1

I think that with some education there are real possibilities at the high school and college level, but more so at the college level, to bring people into cycling Picture Quote #1

I think once an athlete always an athlete and once you have a competitive nature about you, in general, it’s hard to let go. Whether you’re going to take it into medicine or take it into sport, the competitive drive never really leaves Picture Quote #1

Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away Picture Quote #1

Typically creative people are usually not clock-slaves or list-makers, so the idea of enforcing goals and deadlines can be somewhat daunting Picture Quote #1

I never imagined that divorce would be part of my life history or my family’s legacy. When people say that divorce can be more painful than death, I understand why. But like any great trial, God uses everything for good, if we allow Him to heal us Picture Quote #1

When I forget who I am, I remind myself by finding my stride. I remember that I am strong, free, and loved, and that with God’s help I can weather whatever comes Picture Quote #1

Pause today and notice something you have worked hard on and recognize yourself for it. Acknowledge your effort Picture Quote #1

I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way. Some people can shrug expectations off their shoulders like a cardigan, remaining cool and breezy. Others wear them like a parka with a stuck zipper, hot and stifling Picture Quote #1

A run has never returned me exactly the same. I go, I grow Picture Quote #1
