Like a boxer on a treadmill, I hit the ground running. It was my first time being in love, and if enthusiasm were a sport, I’d have been sponsored by Nike. Or Adidas, whichever offered...

Instead of sidewalks, why not sideruns? After all, the pace of life is faster than it has ever been, so I think our infrastructure’s nomenclature should reflect that.

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

The woman had looked into the abyss and then walked out across it.

And then there’s the perverse joy of subtly working in references to marathon training in daily life, say at the post office or while waiting outside my first-graders’ classrooms at the end of the school...

It felt like every time I was running I didn’t have a good base under me,

I think for the moment the big chains are running like elephants. They tend to be behind the cheetahs and the panthers, … I think they lumber along, and I think this is not necessarily...

Maybe. But running backs in the NFL make millions of dollars.

…there was some kind of connection between the capacity to love and the capacity to love *running*. The engineering was certainly the same: both depended on loosening your grip on your own desires, putting aside...

I have no intention of running for office again.

If you’re running on fumes, you get to a point of diminishing results. Get some rest.

The race is long, and I am sprinting. If I ever see her again, I’ll probably be too out of breath to tell her I love her.

We have to win it to stay in the running. We’ve been making steps. Hopefully, we can go to Wisconsin and pull it off and play the same way we do here.

Some sessions are stars and some sessions are stones, but in the end they are all rocks and we build upon them.

I’ve never been to the playoffs and I’m running out of time. I know that I need to rely on those guys out there to try and make it to the playoffs.

This is the equivalent of a more traditional :30 spot on TV, rather than running a search impression and banner ad because of the level of engagement.

Even when I ran my bar I followed the same policy. A lot of customers came to the bar. If one in ten enjoyed the place and said he’d come again, that was enough. If...

I kept running until someone saw the chase and hid me inside their house.

As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are.

At paces that might stun and dismay the religious jogger, the runners easily kept up all manner of chatter and horseplay. When they occasionally blew by a huffing fatty or an aging road runner, they...

We did not believe that we would have the kind of working relationship that is key to providing smooth running, reliable and accurate elections.

He’s going to be running against a very popular figure, and obviously things were very different in 1990, where you had a very unpopular incumbent who was a member of the opposition party,

There were days so clear and skies so brilliant blue, with white clouds scudding across them like ships under full sail, and she felt she could lift right off the ground. One moment she was...

That’s one of the reasons we are now a little less aggressive in terms of running with enormous weightings in any sector.

Not perfect, but not bad times. On the second and third stages, the engine was running very warm, so it dropped to three cylinders and cut off the anti-lag from time to time.

Currently, the convention center is unsanitary and unsafe and we are running out of supplies, … This is a desperate SOS.

Your body will argue that there is no justifiable reason to continue. Your only recourse is to call on your spirit, which fortunately functions independently of logic.

I don’t need the fame right now; I’m not running from the law.

Could we have acted sooner to avoid the situation we are in now, in effect running for cover?

He was running different routes. I don’t know where he was going. He was doing a lot of verbal routes. It was between him and Dennis. He was running all over the place.

I am running for re-election no matter who runs.

Running would help with the weight, but the weight did not help with running.

He was onto something. Something huge. It wasn’t just how to run; it was how to live, the essence of who we are as a species and what we’re meant to be.

He was running on a sore ankle, too. That was a very good field, that’s a nice win for him.

During those hours, I had zero social awareness, as I was asleep. All the joggers who waved at me while I was walking can vouch for that.

Body follows mind. If the mind compares itself to others this could lead to overtraining. Tune out what other runners do and how fast they run. Tune in, instead, to how your body wants to...

I don’t run errands. Usually I jog.

I’m really disappointed running like this. I’m surprised it’s been this way most of the year, but now we have to go out and try to win races. We quit worrying about points a long...

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...

I’ll be happy if running and I can grow old together.

I think people see the social media numbers, and the assumption is made that we’re running a campaign that is just social media, but I think we’re running a very old-school campaign.
