With the marathon upon us I would like to share with you some quotes from people who have run them. N-joy.
| “Frustration is the first step towards improvement. I have no incentive to improve if I’m content with what I can do and if I’m completely satisfied with my pace, distance and form as a runner. It’s only when I face frustration and use it to fuel my dedication that I feel myself moving forwards.” | |

“The marathon can humble you” -Bill Rogers “The starting line of the New York City marathon is kind of a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.” -Bill Rogers “I just run as hard as I can for 20 miles, and then race.” -Steve Jones “I thought about how many preconcieved prejudices would crumble when i trotted right along for 26 miles.” -Roberta Gibb “To describe the agony of a marathon to someone who’s never run it is like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind.” -Jerome Drayton “We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.” -Emil Zatopek “Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts.” -Steve Prefontaine Good luck to all our runners, marathoners or not, there is victory in every stride. D5K. |
