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!’”

"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

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.
No matter how fast you are, you can't out run a polar bear. -- I Don't Know.
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>
