I am a runner.  Been running for over 30 years.  Hope to keep running for 30 more.  Yes, I am a runner!

“I have the guts to set seemingly impossible goals and then methodically work toward them because I’m a runner. I realize my limitations because I am a runner. I appreciate the strengths and accept the weaknesses of my body because I’m a runner. I know how to keep on keeping on, even when I’m sure I’ve got nothing left to give, because I’m a runner.” – Dimity McDowell, Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving–and Not Lose Your Family, Job, or Sanity

“The more I run, the more I love my body. Not because it’s perfect, far from it, but because with every mile it is proving to me that I am capable of more than I ever thought possible.” – Unknown Author

“A meaningful mantra regardless of race distance: In the first half of the race, don’t be an idiot. In the second half of the race, don’t be a wimp.” – Scott Douglas, The Little Red Book of Running
