For Me, As For So Many Runners,

Once You Permit Yourself To Compromise, You Fail Yourself.

A Marathon Is Not About Running, It Is About Salvation. We Spend So Much Of Our Lives Doubting Ourselves, Thinking We're Not Good Enough, Not Strong Enough, Not Made Of The Right Stuff. The Marathon Is An Opportunity For Redemption. "opportunity," Because The Outcome Is Uncertain. "opportunity," Because It Is Up To You, And Only You, To Make It Happen; Only You Can Turn Your Farfetched Dream Into A Reality.

Some Seek The Comfort Of Their Therapist's Office, Other Head To The Corner Pub And Dive Into A Pint, But I Chose Running As My Therapy.

I Went To College, Grad School. I Got An M.b.a., Had A Really Cush Corporate Job. But I Was Just Bored Stiff. I Didn't Fit That Mold.

Pain Is The Body's Way Of Ridding Itself Of Weakness.
