Good things come slow, especially in distance running.
If the hill has its own name, then it's probably a pretty tough hill.
Have you ever felt worse after a run?
We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.
Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.
I run to see who has the most guts.
Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.
To win without risk is to triumph without glory.
I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.
Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way. Run often and run long, but never outrun your joy of running.
People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they'll go to any length to live longer. But don't think that's the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest.

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.
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 morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired... You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.
If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.
Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
It's not about speed and gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped.
In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.
I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought.
Running is my meditation, mind flush, cosmic telephone, mood elevator and spiritual communion.
