I am having a great time reading this book. Borrowed from my public library. I have never read anything like this before. He writes about running exactly how I have felt about it all along, yet have not been able to verbalize it. Feel like I need to buy my own copy too.....
I looked online and here are some awesome quotes I love, love, love:
***“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.”
***“The mind's first step to self-awareness must be through the body.”
***"If you want to win anything - a race, yourself, your life - you have to go a little berserk."
*** "Have you ever felt worse after a run?"
***"To keep from decaying, to be a winner, the athlete must accept pain--not only accept it, but look for it, live with it, learn not to fear it."
***"The music of a marathon is a powerful strain, one of those tunes of glory. It asks us to forsake pleasures, to discipline the body, to find courage, to renew faith and to become one's own person, utterly and completely."
***“The true runner is a very fortunate person. He has found something in him that is just perfect.”
