If Marathoners Finish They Win.

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.

Running Makes You An Athlete In All Areas Of Life...trained In The Basics, Prepared For Whatever Comes, Ready To Fill Each Hour And Deal With The Decisive Moment.

There Are Those Of Us Who Are Always About To Live. We Are Waiting Until Things Change, Until There Is More Time, Until We Are Less Tired, Until We Get A Promotion, Until We Settle Down / Until, Until, Until. It Always Seems As If There Is Some Major Event That Must Occur In Our Lives Before We Begin Living.

There Is No Substitute For Learning To Live In Our Bodies.

The Answer To The Big Questions In Running Is The Same As The Answer To The Big Questions In Life: Do The Best With What You've Got.
