Your body will argue that there is no justifiable reason to continue. Your only recourse is to call on your spirit, which fortunately functions independently of logic.
Tim Noakes
Remember, the feeling you get from a good run is far better than the feeling you get from sitting around wishing you were running.
Sarah Condor
The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life.
George Sheehan
Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body.
Lynn Jennings
It was being a runner that mattered, not how fast or how far I could run. The joy was in the act of running and in the journey, not in the destination.
John Bingham
Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.

If you train your mind for running, everything else will be easy.
Amby Burfoot
I always loved running…it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.
Jesse Owens
Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you’re young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don’t let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.
John Bingham
People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they’ll go to any length to live longer. But don’t think that’s the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest.
Haruki Murakami
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.
Doris Brown Heritage
Running! If there’s any activity happier, more exhilarating, more nourishing to the imagination, I can’t think of what it might be. In running the mind flees with the body, the mysterious efflorescence of language seems to pulse in the brain, in rhythm with our feet and the swinging of our arms.
Joyce Carol Oates
If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first day or if you’ve been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.
John Bingham
Running strips life back to the bare essentials. When we challenge ourselves, it breaks down barriers. It brings us back to our essence and peels away the layers of ego we surround ourselves with. Many a grown man or woman will cry during or when finishing a marathon: long regarded as the ultimate achievement in the running world. Emotions flow freely, the struggle is obvious and most of the competition is with yourself.
Grahak Cunningham
We all know that if you run, you are pretty much choosing a life of success because of it.
Deena Kastor
I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you’re capable of so much more than you thought.
Arthur Blank
As we run, we become.
Amby Burfoot
Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.
John Bingham
We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable.
Sir Roger Bannister
When it’s pouring rain and you’re bowling along through the wet, there’s satisfaction in knowing you’re out there and the others aren’t.
Peter Snell
A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they’re capable of understanding.
Steve Prefontaine
Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body.
Lynn Jennings
The reason we race isn’t so much to beat each other,… but to be with each other.
Christopher McDougall
If you train your mind for running, everything else will be easy.
Amby Burfoot
It’s a treat being a runner, out in the world by yourself with not a soul to make you bad-tempered or tell you what to do.
Alan Sillitoe
I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you’re capable of so much more than you thought.

To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.
