For Me, As For So Many Runners,

As Long As My Heart's Still In It, I'll Keep Going. If The Passion's There, Why Stop?... There'll Likely Be A Point Of Diminishing Returns, A Point Where My Strength Will Begin To Wane. Until Then, I'll Just Keep Plodding Onward, Putting One Foot In Front Of The Other To The Best Of My Ability. Smiling The Entire Time.

I Never Feel More Alive Than When I'm In Great Pain, Struggling Against Insurmountable Odds And Untold Adversity. Hardship? Suffering? Bring It!

Toeing The Starting Line Of A Marathon, Regardless Of The Language You Speak, The God You Worship Or The Color Of Your Skin, We All Stand As Equal. Perhaps The World Would Be A Better Place If More People Ran.

Sometimes You've Got To Go Through Hell To Get To Heaven.

There Is Magic In Misery. Just Ask Any Runner.
