"You're running on guts. On fumes. Your muscles twitch. You throw up. You're delirious. But you keep running because there's no way out of this hell you're in, because there's no way you're not crossing the finish line. It's a misery that non-runners don't understand." - Martine Costello
Sometimes running is really tough, but don't give up :)
Few days ago I found out that the oldest person who finished Boston marathon was 81 year old and New York marathon 88 years old! Isn't that amazing? It's never to late to have a little run
Today I got new interview from a great guy Fitz. He has his own running website. You can read his interview here
Today I was running with a guy I just met before my training. We were talking a lot about running and I realised that running is a real drug :) Once you get into running, you may never want to come back.
Three men - one huge challenge. In 2006 three men decided to do what's is hardly impossible even to imagine - to run through the Sahara Desert. And they did it! In 111 days, starting from Senegel, they touched the Red sea in Egypt.
Despite the fact that he is not real, one of the most inspirationl runner is Forrest Gump.
Read more...Without limits - maybe the best movie about running. About one special and amazing runner - Steve Prefontaine. First time I watched this movie when I was at school. It inspired me very much. If you sometimes feel that there's not so much motivation to run, watch this movie. This movie is about running passion, about running in our life, about running beauty. About one man big dreams.
Despite the fact that Steve Prefontaine is dead for more than 30 years now, but his running results is pretty good:
You would still be on the top with such results. His results show how good he was.
I like this Prefontaine quote: "Most people run a race to see who is fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts." So keep running people :) I hope you have a nice day :)Today I found very good quote about running:
"I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs." Jesse Owens
And he is 100 percent right. Running is about freedom, your running path takes you wherever you want. You can go slow or fast, there's no rush. You are ruling your running, not others. It's all about yourself focusing on one thing. It just you and your running path.
By the way, Jesse Owens won even 4 gold medals in 1936 Olympics in Berlin. That's amazing because he won those medals in 100m, 200m distances, in 4*100m relay and in the LONG JUMP :) That's fantastic.
