To get to the finish line, you'll have to try lots of different paths.

If you train your mind for running, everything else will be easy.

Too many people have refused to begin running or have quickly dropped out of running programs because they 'have no talent for it.' Ridiculous. Talent has nothing to do with it. The only thing that matters is mental discipline.

It's what runners do. We keep on keeping on

The true but rare runner's high is a zone that we enter when everything seems to click perfectly, when time stands still, and when we can run almost without effort.

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.
