One More Step the 638 Best Quotes for the Runner: Motivation for the Next Step!

To improve your body’s ability to run, only one organ is required—the one between your ears. You got it, the brain. If you can tap into the power of your brain, you will succeed. You will become a healthy, accomplished runner, capable of achieving any goals you aspire to.

You could carry your burdens lightly or with great effort. You could worry about tomorrow or not. You could imagine horrible fates or garland-filled tomorrows.

“I don’t run to add days to my life, I run to add life to my days.”
