If Marathoners Finish They Win.

I Will Not Last Forever. But I Am Damn Well Going To Know I Have Been Here.

The Mind's First Step To Self-awareness Must Be Through The Body.

Sport Is Where An Entire Life Can Be Compressed Into A Few Hours, Where The Emotions Of A Lifetime Can Be Felt On An Acre Or Two Of Ground, Where A Person Can Suffer And Die And Rise Again On Six Miles Of Trails Through A New York City Park. Sport Is A Theater Where Sinner Can Turn Saint And A Common Man Become An Uncommon Hero, Where The Past And The Future Can Fuse With The Present. Sport Is Singularly Able To Give Us Peak Experiences Where We Feel Completely One With The World And Transcend All Conflicts As We Finally Become Our Own Potential.

To Know You Are One With What You Are Doing, To Know That You Are A Complete Athlete, Begins With Believing You Are A Runner.

The Distance Runner Is Mysteriously Reconciling The Separations Of Body And Mind, Of Pain And Pleasure, Of The Conscious And The Unconscious. He Is Repairing The Rent, And Healing The Wound In His Divided Self. He Has Found A Way To Make The Ordinary Extraordinary; The Commonplace Unique; The Everyday Eternal.
