RUNNIN’ OFF AT THE MOUTH

“I’m often asked what I think about as I run. Usually, the people who ask this have never run long distances themselves. I always ponder the question. What exactly do I think about when I’m running? I don’t have a clue.” –Haruki Murakami

“In running, every step you make and every push forward changes you—it transforms you into a different person. Every single run adds something to you and then it also takes something away. You are not the same person you were at the starting line and by the time you cross the finish line, your inner self has been reinvented and reimagined.” –Zen of Running

“Just because your muscles start to protest doesn’t mean you have to listen.” –Dianne Holum [Rerun from 2/1/25]
