Running By Faith: “You can run full speed into a door that is closed or you can pull back just a little and go through the open door.” (John Bingham)
Running By Faith: “It's important to know that, at the end of the day, it's not the medals you remember.

Running By Faith: “Running becomes religious in a robust sense when one infuses the experience – not unnaturally – with religious meaning and purpose.” (Jeffrey P Fry – “Running Religiously” from Running and Philosophy a Marathon for the Mind)
Running By Faith: “Running! If there's any activity happier, more exhilarating, more nourishing to the imagination, I can't think of what it might be.

A Runner’s Thoughts: “I run because long after my footprints fade away, maybe I will have inspired a few to reject the easy path, hit the trails, put one foot in front of the other, and come to the same conclusion I did: I run because it always takes me where I want to go.” (Dean Karnazes)
