Quote:

"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and

feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of

clearheadedness that follow a long run."

Quote:

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've

given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to

where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of

achievement."

- Steve Prefontaine

"Running is not, as it so often seems, only about what you did in your last

race or about how many miles you ran last week. It is, in a much more important

way, about community, about appreciating all the miles run by other runners,

too." --Richard O'Brien

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can

be counted. --Albert Einstein

The sense of life being alright is inconceivable and unfeelable unless way in

the back of your mind the glimmer of a possibility that something absolutely

unspeakably awful might happen. There has to be the possibility that something

awful can happen or things can't be alright. --Alan Watts - Intellectual Yoga

#1

Listen to Alan Watts - Taoist Way #6 regarding intellectualization

Quote:

It is curious that with the advent of the automobile and the airplane, the

bicycle is still with us. Perhaps people like the world they can see from a

bike, or the air they breathe when they're out on a bike. Or they like the

bicycle's simplicity and the precision with which it is made. Or because they

like the feeling of being able to hurtle through air one minute, and saunter

through a park the next, without leaving behind clouds of choking exhaust,

without leaving behind so much as a footstep.

Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It ask you...

Quote:

"I'm running on one leg. It may not look like I'm running fast, but I'm

going as hard as I can. It bothers me, people coming up beside me. I

want to make those guys work. I can't stand making it easy for them. I'm

really competitive. When they run with me, they're usually running for

only two or three miles; for me it might be my twenty-sixth mile."
