Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.

If you're laboring up a steep hill, imagine that a towrope is attached to the center of your chest, pulling you steadily toward the top.

We are designed to run and we increase our chance of daily happiness when we do so.

There's an old adage that for every second too fast per mile in the first half of the race, you'll run at least 2 seconds slower at the end.

The label of 'marathoner' has, from the beginning, been awarded to those who went the distance under their own power, whether they ran, walked, crawled or tiptoed. When you cross that finish line, you've entered an elite group. About one-tenth of one percent of the population has done it. Don't let anyone take that great achievement away from you.

To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.
