Athletic proverb: INSPIRATIONAL RUNNING QUOTES
"Top results are reached only through pain. But eventually you like this pain. You'll find the more difficulties you have on the way, the more you will enjoy your success."
Juha "the Curel Vaatainen: INSPIRATIONAL RUNNING QUOTES
"Out of the silver heat mirage he ran. The sky burned, and under him the paving was a black mirror reflecting sun-fire. Sweat sprayed his skin with each foot strike so that he ran in a hot mist of his own creation. With each slap on the softened asphalt, his soles absorbed heat that rose through his arches and ankles and the stems of his shins. It was a
carnival of pain, but he loved each stride because running distilled him to his essence and the heat hastened this distillation."
James Tabor, from "The Runner," a short story
"In a country where only men are encouraged, one must be one's own inspiration."
Tegla Loroupe, Kenya, 1994 New York City Marathon champion: INSPIRATIONAL RUNNING QUOTES
"No one could have scripted a more celebratory inauguration of the new era that Benoit's victory and the great race she led....A woman was enabled to achieve what Benoit accomplished. A woman was welcomed in that achievement by a roar of acclamation that was unequaled for any male through the whole Games. Women competed with each other to the absolute rigorous limit of their will. And a woman endured utter exhaustion in the sight of millions of people - because she chose to do so. I have been astonished that so few feminists outside the USA seemed awake enough to fanfare the magnitude of what was achieved that day."
Roger Robinson, Heroes and Sparrows: INSPIRATIONAL RUNNING QUOTES
