"The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."

- John Bingham

"Somewhere along the line we seem to have confused comfort with happiness. Dostoyevsky had it right: ‘Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness.’ Never are my senses more engaged than when the pain sets in. There is a magic in misery."

- Dean Karnazes

"Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth living. If you’re not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you’re not demanding more from yourself - expanding and learning as you go - you’re choosing a numb existence. You’re denying yourself an extraordinary trip."

- Dean Karnazes

"The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life."

- George Sheehan

Yes, running is hard, and that is exactly what makes it so irresistible to those of us lucky enough to understand."
