When I go to the Boston Marathon now, I have wet shoulders—women fall into my arms crying. They're weeping for joy because running has changed their lives. They feel they can do anything. ↗

I run like I have cirrus clouds for legs and rainbow knees. What is life, if not a marathon of love?

But I also realize that winning doesn't always mean getting first place; it means getting the best out of yourself. ↗

If you don't ever stop singing, your voice stays in shape. It's like the marathon runner. You've got to run, run, run to stay in shape. ↗

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. ↗

If I run I lose so much weight, which I need because you're limited on weight when you are a tall driver. And have you seen marathon runners? They're quite skinny. ↗
