For the novice runner, I'd say to give yourself at least 2 months of consistently running several times a week at a conversational pace before deciding whether you want to stick with it. Consistency is the most important aspect of training at this point. ↗

I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older. ↗

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. ↗

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. ↗

The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. ↗

In athletics, older runners tend to go for longer races, but it's the opposite in swimming because your body can't handle the endurance. ↗

If you want to be a successful runner, you have to consider everything. It's no good just thinking about endurance and not to develop fine speed. ↗
