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

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

It is not so much that I began to run, but that I continued.

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

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

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.

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