Top 10 Motivational
Quotes for Runners
(Reprinted from About.Com)
A time will come, for every runner, when the dreaded slump
rears its ugly head. It is inevitable. Especially in the
cold months of a northern winter. The trick to keeping
it away, or recovering from it, is finding the proper
motivation. It is sometimes helpful to take the advice
of those who have been there before, or just to look at
running in a new light, for that purpose there is nothing
better than running quotes. Here are the top ten:
1. No one said it was going to be easy.
"Running is real and relatively simple - but it ain't
easy." -Mark Will-Weber
2. It is going to take guts.
"Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I
run a race to see who has the most guts." - Steve
Prefontaine
3. You have to be tough.
"Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence
and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents
as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent
of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
4. Your biggest opponent is yourself.
"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."
- Bill Persons
5. You have to learn to see the beauty in it.
"I always loved running...it was something you could
do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go
in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting
the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just
on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."
- Jesse Owens
6. You have to be strong.
"Running is a big question mark that’s there
each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going
to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"
- Peter Maher
7. You have to give it your all.
"Those who say that I will lose and am finished will
have to run over my body to beat me." - Said Aouita
8. You have to want it.
"A runners creed: I will win; if I cannot win, I
shall be second; if I cannot be second, I shall be third;
if I cannot place at all, I shall still do my best."
- Ken Doherty
9. You are not alone.
"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out
there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons
to keep running, but it always comes back to where it
started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense
of achievement." - Steve Prefontaine
10. You can do it.
"If one can stick to the training throughout the
many long years, then will power is no longer a problem.
It's raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's
besides the point. It's simply that I just have to."
- Emil Zatopek

Tips of the week:
The following are some cold-weather running tips. Most of the
tips involve some good common sense in severe conditions.
1. Shorten your stride to improve your footing on icy roads.
Wear Ice Joggers over the soles of your shoes for greater traction.
2. Carry a cell phone so you can make a call or carry cab fare
in your shoe or pocket.
3. Wind chill does not measure temperature, it measures the
rate of cooling. On a day with high wind chill, prepare for
the wind and assess your risk of frostbite.
