Every single one of us possess the strength to attempt something he isn't sure he can accomplish.
~Eat & Run

Beyond the very extreme of fatigue & distress, we may find amounts of ease & power we never dreamed ourselves to own;  sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction.
~Eat & Run

Only a few runners seek Olympic gold, but anyone can finish every run feeling like a champion.
~Galloway's Book on Running

Real growth in running occurs when you pull yourself out of the motivational dumps, learn from your mistakes, try a few new things & suddenly find yourself looking at running in a different way.

Progress is a process in which you balance learning & maturing as you gain knowledge of yourself.

Motivation is what mobilizes a pereson to perform an activity.  It's what moves us to undertake something with hope & makes us carry it out as we overcame obstacles that arise, by applying the necessary effort.

The most important thing is not starting the race, but rather the unwavering determination to reach the finish line.

Courtney Parsons

When people ask me why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, its just the adrenalin when you start, & the feeling when you cross that finish line, & know that you are a winner no matter what place you got.

T. Alan Armstrong

Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months & years they spend preparing for it.  The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.

Dr. Goerge Sheehan

Its very hard to understand in the beginning that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners.  Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit.

George Sheehan

Success means having the courage, the determination, & the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.

Henry Ford

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

General George S. Patton

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing.  You have to make the mind run the body.  Never let the body tell the mind what to do.  The body will always give up.  It is always tired in the morning, noon & night.  But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.
