Putting miles in your training log is like putting money in the bank. You begin to draw interest on it immediately.

What is the purpose of any one workout? Enjoyment? Improvement? Coach said so? Whatever, the hour you run often is the best hour of the day.

Keep your dream in front of you. Never let it go regardless of how farfetched it might seem.

The difference between the mile and the marathon is the difference between burning your fingers with a match and being slowly roasted over hot coals.

How would you describe the worst run you ever had? Precious!

We all have bad days and bad workouts, when running gets ugly, when split times seem slow, when you wonder why you started. It will pass.

The pride in finishing a marathon is much greater than all the pain endured during the marathon.
