Runners are rarely at a loss for words…as our spouses know.  I especially like the last one from  Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner that sums up running…and life:

“You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can’t know what’s coming.” Frank Shorter

“Some of the world’s greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible.” Doug Larson

“If you start to feel good during an ultra, don’t’ worry you will get over it.” Gene Thibeault

“The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.” Robert Frost

“I have met my hero, and he is me.” George Sheehan

“Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.” Jules Renard

“We can’t all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.”
Will Rogers

“The will to win means nothing if you haven’t the will to prepare.”   – Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner

Until next time…
