Set a goal and a program for yourself, and everything else will follow. Guaranteed.

Running has taught me, perhaps more than anything else, that there's no reason to fear starting lines... or other new beginnings.

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.

In the longest run of all, your life, you're going to be a winner.

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

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

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.
