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

The real competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit

To make your life a work of art, you must have the material to work with. The race, any race, is just such an experience.

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.

Why race? The need to be tested, perhaps; the need to take risks; and the chance to be number one.

Like everyone else, I want to be challenged. I want to find out whether or not I am a coward. I want to see how much effort I can put out . . . what I can endure . . . if I measure up. Running allows that.

Of all the races, there is no better stage for heroism than a marathon.
