It's a state of mind; a state of mind that says anything is possible. Pain and suffering are often the catalysts for life's most profound lessons. 痛苦和苦难经历往往是生命中最深刻教训的催化剂。 Dean Karnazes, Ultrarunner and best-selling author ...you are not running for some future reward-the real reward is now! If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat. It's very hard to understand in the beginning that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit. When people ask me why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, ...... Running is real and relatively simple - but it ain't easy. The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life. Good things come slow-especially in distance running. May the road rise up to greet you, and the wind always be at your back. People ask why I run. I say, "If you have to ask, you will never understand". It is something only those select few know. Those who put themselves through pain, but know, deep down, how good it really feels. Running has taken me in, and continues to comfort, heal and challenge me in all kinds of magical ways. I am not a 'good runner' because I am me. I am a good 'me' because I am a runner. The real purpose of running isn't to win a race; it's to test the limits of the human heart. We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort. This is not about instant gratification. You have to work hard for it, sweat for it, give up sleeping in on Sunday mornings. When you have the enthusiasm and the passion, you end up figuring how to excel. Running has never failed to give me great end results, and that's why I keep coming back for more! Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired...You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going. Running hills breaks up your rhythm and forces your muscles to adapt to new stresses. The result? You become stronger. Life is short...running makes it seem longer. Baron Hansen I don't rate myself as a fantastic, talented athlete. I just have perseverance. I'm a cart horse. I work hard. I just think running makes me feel more disciplined. It makes me feel more committed, to not only my job, but to life. It makes me feel I'm doing all I can do to be as good as I can be. It's the one thing that's mine. My runs everyday are my thing. It's my therapy, my hour to myself. Nobody can really take it away from me... It's such a huge part of me. I love to say that I'm a runner. I have always liked running, so it wasn't particularly difficult to make it a habit. All you need is a pair of running shoes and you can do it anywhere. I look at running as meditation. It allows me to decompress, download, and get rid of a lot of negative stuff. That's my secret. I go inside myself. When I first started doing races, I didn't understand why people did them. I thought it was boring. But give it a try. If you're new to the sport, or maybe even an infrequent runner, try it. Once you do it and finish a race, there's such a feeling of self-accomplishment—that's really been one thing I've taken away from doing running events. Because it's just you, and you have just yourself to credit for doing what you did. It's always a great feeling afterward, because you know you did it all yourself. There's no cell phone, there's no way for anyone to get in contact with me, and I really, really like that. We don't have enough of that in our world anymore. Whether I'm out doing the mountains and I've got the dogs with me, or if I'm by myself, it's a great way to shut out our crazy world and business for an hour or whatever. That's probably my favorite thing about it. Scott Bakula, Golden Globe-winning actor It seemed like an impossible thing, and as an actor, it's a funny thing. You spend your whole life pretending. Completing a marathon was the first time in my adult life I had done something that had a huge physical attachment to it. It required everything, not just my imagination, and that connection of your body and your imagination working together is, I think, why people go out in the morning and get their 40 minutes in. If you want to see what your body will look like tomorrow, look at your thoughts today. I've learned that finishing a marathon isn't just an athletic achievement. It's a state of mind; a state of mind that says anything is possible. |
