These are great. Knitted Mark Spitz looks exhausted.

What are knitted Monkey prizes, and where can we see them?

I want one of those Monkey ones! But although I plan on doing a marathon some day, I don't think I'll ever be fast enough to earn one...

'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher

"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
