I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning. ↗

Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best. ↗

And then there's the perverse joy of subtly working in references to marathon training in daily life, say at the post office or while waiting outside my first-graders' classrooms at the end of the school day. ↗

I’m running a marathon. I won’t be jogging, walking, or sprinting, but I will be overseeing it. ↗

I love running. I’m not into marathons, but I am into avoiding problems at an accelerated rate.

If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon. ↗

But most of all I was inspired by the stirring examples of all the other runners. In some pictures they would seem like tiny dots in a mosaic, but each had a separate narrative starting a few months or a lifetime earlier and finishing that day in the New York City Marathon, the race with 37,000 stories. ↗

Long Distance training can be a positive & constructive form of selfishness. After all, once you're at the starting line, you're there by yourself. No one can run a single step for you. No one can jump in & help you. No one but you can make the decisions about what to do to keep going. It's all up to you. ↗
