Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.
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.
There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
I run to see who has the most guts.
Go in any direction..seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.
There's no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes.
There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing
The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.
There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.
Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about.
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
It's very hard in the beginning to understand 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 you to quit.
In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable.
Ask yourself: 'Can I give more?'. The answer is usually: 'Yes'.
If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it.
We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
