        "I hate Running."

        "I love Running."

              If you can fill the unforgiving minute
              With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

              And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

                 - Kipling, from his poem, If.

                  Ann Trason, “I acted like the race is my life, and every mile is how old I am. On the opening climb, I’m just a little kid out there. I’m only a few years old, and I tell myself, ‘I’m just learning to walk!’........”I always looked bad(at)......... mile 85. What do you expect, I’m 85!’”

                   The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

                        "And I know I am made for more. And by becoming more, I am challenged to choose suffering, to endure pain, to bear hardship… At first the gentle swell carries me, but gradually the Hill demands more and more. I have reached the end of my physiology. The end of what is possible. And now it is beyond what I can stand. The temptation to say, enough. This much is enough. But I will not give in. I am fighting God, fighting the limitations He gave me, fighting the pain, fighting the unfairness, fighting all the evil in me and the world. And I will not give in. I will conquer this hill and I will conquer it alone." -George Sheehan, on running up hills, Running and Being

                          one of my favorites is:

                           

                          I've always felt that long, slow distance produces long, slow runners. -- Sebastian Coe.

                           

                          One problem is that lately my runs have seemed to have to become, unintentionally, long, slow distance.  I may be doomed.

                            Years ago, this was a sport reserved for crazy people.

                            A few years ago, it was a dream.

                            A couple years ago, it was a possibility.

                            A few weeks ago, it was a probability.

                            This week, and forever, it is a reality.

                              There is only one pace to run...suicide pace.  And today is a good day to die.    -- Pre.

                                Here's my favorite running quote!

                                 

                                Running is a road to self-awareness and reliance-you can push yourself to extremes and learn the harsh reality of your physical and mental limitations or coast quietly down a solitary path watching the earth spin beneath your feet. - <cite>Doris Brown Heritage</cite>
