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

The difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry blank.

Do not tell me what to do, tell me what you do. Do not tell me what is good for me, tell me what is good for you. If, at the same time, you reveal the you in me, if you become a mirror to my inner self, then you have made a reader and a friend.

The answer to the big questions in running is the same as the answer to the big questions in life: Do the best with what you've got.

There is nothing more certain than the defeat of the man who gives up.

Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.

Running is just such a monastery- a retreat, a place to commune with God and yourself, a place for psychological and spiritual renewal.
