Favorite Quotes

"I decided to go for a little run." - Forrest Gump

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."

-Steve Prefontaine

"Enjoy your pain, you've earned it"

"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."

- Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ

"If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough"

-Steve Jones

It is better to wear out one's shoes than one's sheets. - Genoese Proverb

"my sport is your sports punishment"

"Winners never quit and quitters never win. If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?"

-Vince Lombardi

"Pain is temporary; finishing is forever."

"It's not 13.1 miles ... it's seven water stops."

"If you don't feel like you're going to throw up you're not running fast enough. "

"I run distance because I want to be in good shape when I die."

"If one could run without getting tired I don't think one would often want to do anything else."

- C.S. Lewis

A run begins the moment you forget you are running.

You have a choice. You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face.

Runs end. Running doesn't.

"A marathon starts with one step, and whole heck of a lot of crazy!" - Crystal Kurz
