quotes

"Define yourself"

-Deena Kastor

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?" -Peter Maher

"There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people."-Bill Bowerman

"A lot of people run a race to see who's fastest. I run to see who has the most guts."

Steve Prefontaine

The true runner is a very fortunate person. He has found something in him that is just perfect.

George Sheehan

"Workouts are like brushing my teeth; I don't think about it, I just do it. The decision has already been made."--Patti Sue Plumer, U.S. Olympian

It takes patience to become the best runner you can be. Top athletes realize that running is a long-term sport. It is set up for people who value delayed gratification and who like hard-earned success.
Anthony Famiglietti, two-time Olympian and six-time national champion

"I always loved running. It was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."

-Jesse Owens
