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

Motivation remains key to the marathon: the motivation to begin; the motivation to continue; the motivation never to quit.

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.

I run, therefore I am. And given the years improved fitness adds to our lives, if I did not run, maybe I would no longer be.

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?

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