Don't compare yourself with anyone else. The world is full of runners, so you'll probably see one every time you circle the block or your favorite park. Some will be thinner than you, some smoother-striding, some faster. But don't let this get you down. There's only one runner who really counts: you. Running is your activity. Make it work for you, and don't worry about anyone else.

I always tell beginning runners: Train your brain first. It's much more important than your heart or legs.

Running removes us briefly from the fragmentation and depersonalization of the digital world

I've never known a runner who had as much patience as he needed.

I have learned that there is no failure in running, or in life, as long as you keep moving.

I've always liked hills. I see a challenge, a goal, and I feel instantly galvanized to achieve that goal.

Don't judge your running by your speed.
