Motivation is a skill. It can be learned and practiced.

Success does not come to the most righteous and rigorously disciplined but to those who continue running.

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

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.

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

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