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.

Anything that changes your values changes your behaviour.

We who run...are different from those who merely study us. We are out there experiencing what they are trying to put into words.

The more I run, the more I want to run, and the more I live a life conditioned and influenced and fashioned by my running. And the more I run, the more certain I am that I am heading for my real goal: to become the person I am.

Fitness has to be fun. If it is not play there will be no fitness. Play, you see, is where the process. Fitness is merely the product.

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

I have found my hero and he is me.
