Marathon Maniac #3309
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
It's not about speed and gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped........................
In a very thankful mood tonight....................

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
....very well put statement......
one of my favorites from the 70's
car pulled up next to a Runner in Colorado fighting a hill
and yelled
''What are you training for?''
''The REST of the day''
the Runner yelled back.
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
