“Never ignore the little things.
Remember 12 inches make a foot,
3 feet make a yard,
1760 yards make a mile,
and 26 miles make a marathon.
Attack the challenge of a marathon one inch at a time.”

I am a new Marathon Mommy!
I am a new Marathon Mommy! I have been reading your posts for a few weeks now and I thought I better join in on the fun! I am anticipating the Salt Lake Marathon finish line and I feel more consumed and nervous by it as the day gets closer. Sooooo...THANK YOU to all of you for thinking some of my same thoughts! I am learning a lot from you pros! I have been on a quest for inspiration and here are a few quotes I liked:

Hi and welcome! I love running quotes. They really inspire me. Most of my favorites are from George Sheehan. Or Nike slogans. :-)
"There is no finish line."
"Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be”
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”
"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it." - Oprah Winfrey
“You can never be sure. That’s what makes the marathon both fearsome and fascinating. The deeper you go into the unknown, the more uncertain you become. But then you finish. And you wonder later, “How did I do that?” This question compels you to keep making the journey from the usual to the magical.” --Joe Henderson
Okay, I could do this forever! I love running!
Welcome!! Thanks for the fun quotes!
We are so glad you have joined us. You will be amazed how all of these women will bless your life. We can't wait to get to know you better.
"I run because I can." Was that JP who said that? Or Chelle? Or was someone quoting someone else who said that? I can't remember... but I've thought about it a lot lately. I run because I can - my body can. And my will makes it happen. I'm so grateful I CAN run. Being able to run long distances says a lot about the strength of not only one's own body, but also their character.

Did you just hear someone tooting their own horn? :)
sweet, I've been quoted. LOL
Let's just hope I'm not subconciously plagiarizing someone. :)
