Motivation
~Winning has
nothing to do with racing. Most days don't have races anyway. Winning
is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving
up.~ -Amby Burfoot, The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life
~*When we run, we are already so exposed, often nearly naked in our shorts and T-shirts, huffing and puffing, purified by the effort. Briefly removed from the defenses and secrets we maintain in so much of our lives, we feel less need to hide our private thoughts, loves, fears, and stresses. We share.*~
-Amby Burfoot, The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life
~*Even after all these years, running continues to amaze me. Mostly in its ability to clarify - to make things OK and bring you back down to earth, even when things are insane. Especially when things are insane.*~
-Mark Remy, Executive Editor, runnersworld.com
~*I ran and ran every day, and I acquired a sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never, give up, no matter what else happened.*~
-Wilma Rudolph, US track star
