"Once you're beat mentally, you might was well not even go to the starting line." -Todd Williams
"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."
-Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ
"Never give up. Never, never, never give up." -Winston Churchill (paraphrased)
About Me
- Peter
- United States
- I run because I can. I've never been the athlete type, I'll never be an Olympic qualifier, and I might not ever qualify for Boston (though I'm going to try some time). But I can will myself to continue when others have thrown in the towel, and that seems to get you pretty far in running. So running is my chosen sport.
