Different people have different reasons for racing, but one is simply the incentive to get out and run, increase mileage and feel good.

Life is a series of hard and easy runs.

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

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.

It can be said that the first half of the marathon is 20 miles long; the second half, 6.2 more.

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

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