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.

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

Anything that changes your values changes your behaviour.

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

The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life.

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.

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