| WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU RUN? |
| "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING." ...Jon Obst "WHY DO I RUN? WHY DO I BREATHE?" ...Jon Obst "WE TAKE RISKS NOT TO ESCAPE LIFE, BUT TO PREVENT LIFE FROM ESCAPING US."...William Wallace "IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES; JUST FINISH IT!."...Marshall Ulrich "TO ACHIEVE ALL THAT'S POSSIBLE, WE MUST ATTEMPT THE IMPOSSIBLE; TO BE AS MUCH AS WE CAN, WE MUST DREAM OF BEING MORE." "THERE IS NO SATISFACTION WITHOUT A STRUGGLE FIRST."...Marty Liquori "IT'S VERY HARD IN THE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WHOLE IDEA IS NOT TO BEAT THE OTHER RUNNERS. EVENTUALLY YOU LEARN THAT THE COMPETITION IS AGAINST THE LITTLE VOICE INSIDE YOU THAT WANTS TO QUIT."...George Sheehan "FIND YOUR LIMITS, AND EXCEED THEM."...Lynn Strickland "RUNNERS CAN GET THROUGH THE WEARY AND LONELY HOURS ONLY IF THEY ARE AT PEACE IN THEMSELVES."...Ayers "IF SOMEONE SAYS, "HEY, I RAN 100 MILES THIS WEEK. HOW FAR DID YOU RUN?", IGNORE HIM! WHAT THE HELL DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE...THE MAGIC IS IN THE MAN, NOT THE 100 MILES."...Bill Bowerman "THE ONLY WAY TO DEFINE YOUR LIMITS IS BY GOING BEYOND THEM."...Arthur Clarke "THE NUMBER OF MILES I'VE RUN SINCE I WAS A TODDLER WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME AROUND THE WORLD SEVERAL TIMES, AND I STILL CANNOT DEFINE PRECISELY MY JOY IN RUNNING. IN MY CASE, I THOROUGHLY ENJOY 100-ODD MILES A WEEK. IF I DIDN'T, I WOULDN'T DO IT."...Ron Clarke "THE PURPOSE OF TRAINING IS TO STRESS THE BODY, SO WHEN YOU REST IT WILL GROW STRONGER AN MORE TOLERANT TO THE DEMANDS OF DISTANCE RUNNING."...David Costell "THE ONLY WAY TO BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE IS BY BEING WHAT YOU HAVEN'T YET BEEN."...Sally Edwards "ONLY THOSE WHO WILL RISK GOING TOO FAR CAN POSSIBLY FIND OUT HOW FAR THEY CAN GO."...T.S. Elliot "I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING, BUT STILL I CAN DO SOMETHING AND BECAUSE I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING, I WILL NOT REFUSE TO DO THE SOMETHING I CAN DO."...Edward Everett Hale "YOU MUST DO THE THING YOU THINK YOU CANNOT DO."...Eleanor Roosevelt "DETERMINE THAT THE THING CAN AND SHALL BE DONE, AND THEN YOU WILL FIND THE WAY."...Abe Lincoln "RUN WHEN YOU CAN, WALK IF YOU HAVE TO, CRAWL IF YOU MUST...JUST NEVER GIVE UP"...Dean Karnazes "STRUGGLING AND SUFFERING ARE THE ESSENCE OF A LIFE WORTH LIVING. IF YOU'RE NOT PUSHING YOURSELF BEYOND THE COMFORT ZONE, IF YOU'RE NOT CONSTANTLY DEMANDING MORE FROM YOURSELF...EXPANDING AND LEARNING AS YOU GO...YOU'RE CHOOSING A NUMB EXISTENCE. YOU'RE DENYING YOURSELF AN EXTRAORDINARY TRIP."...Dean Karnazes "MOST THINGS WORTHWHILE IN LIFE USUALLY COME WITH A MEASURE OF PAIN."...Dean Karnazes |
