A Few Quotes for Race Week
Race week is here! The Cascade mountains are calling. I am getting really excited to run the race on Saturday. 100 miles, 21,000 ft of gain and 21,000 ft of loss… I also get to celebrate my 30th birthday that day… This is certainly a way to remember the beginning of a new decade! In preparing for the race I like to read some of the quotes that motivate me. Here are a few of my favorites:
A lot of people run a race to see who’s the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts.”
         – Steve Prefontaine
The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy…It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed.”
         – Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ
“When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.” – Storm Jameson
