You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.

There is a growing subculture of barefoot runners, people who got rid of their shoes. And what they have found uniformly is you get rid of the shoes, you get rid of the stress, you get rid of the injuries and the ailments.

Perhaps all our troubles - all the violence, obesity, illness, depression, and greed we can't overcome - began when we stopped living as Running People. Deny your nature, and it will erupt in some other, uglier way.

We wouldn't be alive without love we wouldn't have survived without running maybe we shouldn't be surprised that getting better at one could make you better at the other.

We run when we're scared, we run when we're ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.

You don't have to be fast. But you'd better be fearless.

If you can run six miles on a summer day, then you, my friend, are a lethal weapon in the animal kingdom.
