I don’t see the point in running him out there at this point in the year. It doesn’t make sense.

I wanna say something that I want you to remember for the rest of your life, OK? I want you to listen closely. I’m giving you a key to life right now, this is the...

Some of the best running backs in the NFL are around my size.

Outside, daylight was bleeding slowly toward dusk.

A typical race morning usually starts out looking like a scene from a zombie movie: individuals or pairs of people walking down a deserted street, all headed in the same direction…. Inevitably, regardless of the...

The auto industry is a relatively unattractive place to allocate capital. So the bottom line is, if you’re running a business that can span two or three industrial sectors, there are more attractive sectors to...

Vary your training, your running partners, and your environment. Only your imagination limits the ways you can spice up your running routine.

Kevin knew he had to always outrun the enemy inside him, and if that meant playing football, he’d do it. During puberty, he had taken off running and found too late that he couldn’t stop....

The reason we race isn’t so much to beat each other,… but to be with each other.

They’ll torture you for months before killing you if you run” Otis shrugged, as if this was an everyday occurrence.

I was cast in ‘Thor’ back in 2009, so it sort of took me out of the running for anything tied to DC Comics.

We’re running sixth at Indy when I have a tire problem,

Every day is a fresh start; don’t measure yourself by yesterday’s troubles.

They’re a very athletic team. (Running backs) Brad Walker and Ronald Osborne are two very explosive threats, and they have a real good quarterback in Lucas Wall.

Shoot, I’ve never been to the playoffs, and I’m running out of time.

It had been said that the marathon doesn’t really begin until mile twenty. I say mile twenty-six would be more appropriate. The final two-tenths of a mile is filled with emotion. No matter how desperately...

I think it helped us. We’re a running team. We needed a little breather. It was like a free time out.

Going around second, I really didn’t feel anything. I was just trying not to smile or laugh running around the bases, because I wanted to. It was a cool experience, but I’m sure there’s probably...

Running! If there’s any activity happier, more exhilarating, more nourishing to the imagination, I can’t think of what it might be. In running the mind flees with the body, the mysterious efflorescence of language seems...

When I go to the Boston Marathon now, I have wet shoulders—women fall into my arms crying. They’re weeping for joy because running has changed their lives. They feel they can do anything.

I had a running start.

I have two Filipino nannies who have British passport and not me. I don’t need British passport. When you were running around in an animal skin, my ancestors were building the pyramids.

When you’re used to being in the public eye, if you’ve got a disease, you’ve got to own up to it. It’s about being about it, not running from it.

A substantial daily intake of alcohol was the perfect way to stay in shape.

He’s just a freak athlete. I mean, the things that he can do, no other running back can. He can just stop and go. And also, he’s a good guy off the field, too. He’s...

I think they’re just looking at every option available out there. But if we’re running a real gauntlet talking about any airline merger in this atmosphere, that one (between American and Delta) runs a bigger...

We’re running as we normally run.

Najednou se muminka zmocnila taková radost, že se musel odebrat do samoty. Okdráčel pomalu ke kůlně. A když ho nikdo neviděl, dal se do běhu. Běžel v roztálém sněhu, slunce se mu opíralo do zad...

Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun...

Train, don’t strain.

Remember, it’s the pace that kills, never the distance.

You don’t run,’ he corrected me. ‘But you’re more than able.’ There was no shadow of doubt in his voice. Hearing it from someone else made me realize: there was nothing stopping me from running...

Trails are like that: you’re floating along in a Shakespearean Arden paradise and expect to see nymphs and fluteboys, then suddenly you’re struggling in a hot broiling sun of hell in dust and nettles and...

Life can be difficult at times and many questions have no answers. The determination it takes to go on and the resiliency required of the human spirit to find joy is an integral part of...

Sleep is fueled by no fuel. If I had enough coffee, I’d never have to sleepwalk my way through a marathon again.

This is your first marathon. Possibly, you’ll want it to be your last. Focus on future races draws energy from the one in front of you. Like the mileage that comprises them, train for marathons...

If you want to see how fast I run, just give me a football helmet and notice how my helmet collects bug carcasses like a car bumper.

We decided to join a track program one summer at West Seneca West High School, and we’ve been running ever since.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you’re young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don’t let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving...

They wanted me to be a running back. They told me they were going to make me a Paul Hornung. Down deep inside, I knew my speed wasn’t what they needed in a running back,...

Running a race assigns a point to a sport that often feels very pointless. It’s an exuberant payoff to months of tedium. It’s a way of crafting an end boss for a particularly cumbersome video...

He’d run so close so many times this season, it wasn’t like he was running badly. He’s been very unlucky, and sometimes would have needed 10 more strides to collar the leader, or in the...

If you have a perfectionist streak – and who doesn’t? – running can kill the perfectionist inside you.

It happened up front. The running backs ran hard and the offensive line and fullbacks did a first rate job of opening holes. We had a really green (inexperienced) line but everyone played well.

The running game is always going to be important for us. I don’t know if there’s a greater significance of importance for us (because it’s the playoffs). When our run game is going, I think...

That’s part of being an endurance athlete. Who in their right mind wouldn’t find excuses to escape an hour or more of suffering? Excuses always lead to a reckoning. We find reasons not to take...

After joyfully working each morning, I would leave off around midday to challenge myself to a footrace. Speeding along the sunny paths of the Jardin du Luxembourg, ideas would breed like aphids in my head—for...

Start slow, then taper off

Not all races are run on a track. And not all finish lines are marked by ticker tape.
