Of All The Races, There Is No

Sweat Cleanses From The Inside. It Comes From Places A Shower Will Never Reach.

Everyone Is An Athlete. The Only Difference Is That Some Of Us Are In Training, And Some Are Not.

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

Sport Is Where An Entire Life Can Be Compressed Into A Few Hours, Where The Emotions Of A Lifetime Can Be Felt On An Acre Or Two Of Ground, Where A Person Can Suffer And Die And Rise Again On Six Miles Of Trails Through A New York City Park. Sport Is A Theater Where Sinner Can Turn Saint And A Common Man Become An Uncommon Hero, Where The Past And The Future Can Fuse With The Present. Sport Is Singularly Able To Give Us Peak Experiences Where We Feel Completely One With The World And Transcend All Conflicts As We Finally Become Our Own Potential.

There Are As Many Reasons For Running As There Are Days In A Year.... But Mostly I Run Because I Am An Animal And A Child.
