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.

Whatever, the hour you run often is the best hour of the day.

I double-knot my shoe laces. It's a pain untying your shoes afterward-particularly if you get them wet-but so is stopping in the middle of a race to tie them.

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

Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough.

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.

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