Running Quotes"Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack." Jeff Galloway, Galloway's Book on Running
"When you put yourself on the line in a race and expose yourself to the unknown, you learn things about yourself that are very exciting." Doris Brown Heritage, Five-time World Cross-Country Champion "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." John "The Penguin" Bingham, The Courage to Start "I like to say, and I truly believe, that every run brings new experiences. You just don't know what they might be until you actually do the run. That's one of my major reasons for pushing out the front door as often as I do—the adventure of it all." Amby Burfoot, Editor at Large, Runner's World "At least 99 percent of running is just showing up, getting out there and putting one foot in front of the other." John Hanc, The Essential Runner "Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character." T. Alan Armstrong "If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience another life, run a marathon”. Emil Zatopek "The challenge in running is not to aim at doing the things no one else has done, but to keep doing things anyone could do—but most never will." Joe Henderson in The Complete Book of Running "I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards." Alberto Salazar "Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.” Author Unknown "A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they’re capable of understanding." "There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be." George Sheehan Runners just do it - they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first. Author Unknown The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass.
