About a month ago, I signed up to receive daily e-mails from Runner’s World magazine that contained running quotes. I thought I’d share some of them. Some of them you may have heard, while others are along the lines of “Why didn’t I think of that?”
“A lot of people run a race to see who’s the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts.” — Steve Prefontaine
“Pain is temporary, pride is forever.” — Anonymous
“I like running because it’s challenge. If you run hard, there’s the pain – and you’ve got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is ‘Don’t overdo it’ and ‘Don’t push yourself.’ Well, I think that’s a lot of bull. If you push the human body, it will respond.” — Bob Clarke
“Running is real and relatively simple – but it ain’t easy.” — Mark Will-Weber
“Runners just do it – they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first.” — Nike
“The greatest pleasure in life is doing the things people say we cannot do.” — Walter Bagehot
“Run like hell and get the agony over with.” — Clarence DeMar
