Trying harder doesn’t always equal more success; it leads to more frustration, less satisfaction, and giving up.

I'm not sure who invented dodgeball, but I can almost guarantee you that it wasn't the shortest kid in the class.

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 was being a runner that mattered, not how fast or how far I could run. The joy was in the act of running and in the journey, not in the destination.

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

We run to undo the damage we've done to body and spirit. We run to find some part of ourselves yet undiscovered.

If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.
