The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon.

When you run in the morning, you gain time. It's like stretching 24 hours into 25. You may need less sleep and get up earlier, but if you can get by that, running early seems to expand the day.

You feel good while you're running and you feel even better when you're finished.

Few things in life match the thrill of a marathon.

Training is like putting money in a bank. You deposit money, and then you can take it out.

I think the reason that a lot of people have to have a lot of people around is just about being smart and knowing what you want to talk about.

If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.

All that exists is but the manifestation of the Supreme Being.

I can see the warmth. He's falling for me.
