The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.

I didn't train all that time just to come here and get it over with as fast as I can

I'm not saying running could solve all of the world's problems, but I think it would be a good start.

Every day gives you an opportunity to improve. With every run, you can try to be better. Not just a better runner, but a better person.

It isn’t a matter of getting the body you want, it’s a matter of doing the most you can with the body you have.

I am a runner because I run. Not because I run fast. Not because I run far. I am a runner because I say I am. And no one can tell me I'm not.
