Sport Is An Essential Element Of Education.

The Music Of A Marathon Is A Powerful Strain, One Of Those Tunes Of Glory. It Asks Us To Forsake Pleasures, To Discipline The Body, To Find Courage, To Renew Faith And To Become One's Own Person, Utterly And Completely.

Why Race? The Need To Be Tested, Perhaps; The Need To Take Risks; And The Chance To Be Number One.

No Matter How Old I Get, The Race Remains One Of Life's Most Rewarding Experiences. My Times Become Slower And Slower, But The Experience Of The Race Is Unchanged: Each Race A Drama, Each Race A Challenge, Each Race Stretching Me In One Way Or Another, And Each Race Telling Me More About Myself And Others.

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.

We May Think There Is Willpower Involved, But More Likely... Change Is Due To Want Power. Wanting The New Addiction More Than The Old One. Wanting The New Me In Preference To The Person I Am Now.
