In the big city, if the man next door happens to be a slum landlord, a Mafia bag man, or a long distance runner, what does it matter, as long as he puts his garbage out on Tuesdays?

There is no such thing as an average runner. We are all above average.

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

Each runner's capacity to absorb hard training is different. Find your own unique level of comfort and success will be yours.

The marathon never ceases to be a race of joy, a race of wonder.

Finish: Even if you run a slower than expected time, you succeed in any marathon when you finish.

Life is a series of hard and easy runs.
