The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life.

Running makes you an athlete in all areas of life...trained in the basics, prepared for whatever comes, ready to fill each hour and deal with the decisive moment.

People begin running for any number of motives, but we stick to it for one basic reason-to find out who we really are.

Because until we write it down, we don't know what is actually at the root of our lives.

To keep from decaying, to be a winner, the athlete must accept pain - not only accept it, but look for it, live with it, learn not to fear it.

Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant.

Life is the greatest experiment. Each of us is an experiment of one-observer and subject-making choices, living with them, recording the effects.
