Whether you know them or not, supporters make an incalculable difference when you are running a race.

While you, and only you, can move your legs from start to finish, no one runs a marathon alone.

I enjoyed having my body praised for what it could do rather than how it looked.

What is a new hobby if not a shopping opportunity?

Still, I remained loyal to the idea that the perfect running outfit could do a couple of extra miles for me.

Whenever anyone asked me how I’d done it, the answer was simple: I decided to be able to.

The only way to find out if I was physically or mentally capable of finishing a marathon was to try and run a marathon.

The longer a run is, the less it becomes about running. The challenge is dealing with the waves of emotion, keeping the mind from collapsing.

Solo quelli che si arrischiano a spingersi troppo in là riescono a scoprire fin dove riescono ad arrivare...T. S. Eliot

Quando riuscite ad accettare che correre non significa oltrepassare limiti che ritenevate invalicabili, ma scoprire invece che quegli ostacoli non c'erano mai stati, potete applicare lo stesso principio a ogni aspetto della vostra vita.
