Exercise: you don't have time not to

There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.

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.

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.

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 most important thing I learned [from running] is that there is only one runner in this race, and that is me.

Have you ever felt worse after a run?
