Best wishes for a great marathon. Be sure to savor it. The first marathon is something special. Run long and healthy.

I have learned that there is no failure in running, or in life, as long as you keep moving. It's not about speed. And gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped. you might find that one particular direction proves difficult, but there are many directions on a compass. Infinite, in fact. As long as you keep searching, you'll find your winning way.

The most powerful lesson you can learn in running? You're capable of much more than you think.

It's not about speed and gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped.

Running is ultimately a personal experience. It is a revival of the spirit, a private oasis for the thirsty mind. Yet, its healing power only increases in the presence of others. Run together and the oasis grows cooler and more satisfying.

Best wishes for a great marathon. Be sure to savor it. The first marathon is something special. Run long and healthy.

Courage is crossing a starting line.
