I have found my hero and he is me.

On the roads, I can see truth revealed whole without thought or reason. There I experience the sudden understanding that comes unasked, unbidden. I simply rest, rest within myself, rest within the pure rhythm of my running. And I wait.

Every runner is an experiment of one.

There are as many reasons for running as there are days in a year.... But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child.

I run each day to preserve the self I attained the day before and to secure the self yet to be.

To know you are one with what you are doing, to know that you are a complete athlete, begins with believing you are a runner.

We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.
