"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that."
-Fred Lebow, NYC Marathon Co-founder
Half Marathon
Event: Angie's Half Crazy! Half Marathon
Date: March 27, 2011
If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get.
You just run."
-John Bingham
"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
"There are clubs you can't belong to, neighborhoods you can't live in, schools you can't get into, but the roads are always open."
- Nike
"Winning isn't always finishing first. Sometimes winning is just finishing."
-Manuel Diotte
