Food For Thought #2 (2/2/11)

I have a few solid quotes to share, and all of them are from Dean Karnazes. He is a 43-year-old ultrarunner.

"Running has an uncanny ability to mellow the soul, to take the edge off hard feelings, and put things back into a healthy perspective." 

"I never feel more alive than when I'm in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. Hardships? Suffering? Bring it! I've said it before and I've come to believe it: There's magic in misery."

"Regardless of how distant your dreams may seem, every second counts."

"You cannot grow and expand your capabilities to their limits without running the risk of failure." 

"When all else fails, start running."

"It doesn't matter how fast you're going if you're moving in the wrong direction."

"Sometimes you're a fisherman, sometimes you're a fish." 

I think all of these quotes have interesting properties to them. They don't have to apply to just running either. You can definitely apply them to all parts of life. Enjoy.
