Runners just do it - they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first.
Bill Persons
You don?t run against a bloody stop watch, do you hear? A runner runs against himself, against the best that's in him. Not against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys. That's the way to be great, running against yourself. Against all the rotten mess in the world. Against God, if you?re good enough.
Charles Schulz, Peanuts

Neil Armstrong on jogging, in an interview with Walter Cronkite
I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
P.Z. Pearce
If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by surprise.
Rita Rudner
I don't think jogging is healthy, especially morning jogging. If morning joggers knew how tempting they looked to morning motorists, they would stay home and do sit-ups.
Sam Mussabini
Only think of two things - the gun and the tape. When you hear the one, just run like hell until you break the other.

Blink and you miss a sprint. The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of waiting. Theatrically, the mile is just the right length - beginning, middle, end: a story unfolding.
