Marathon Running Quotes

Haruki Murakami quote: "As with marathon runs and lengths of toilet paper, there had..."
As with marathon runs and lengths of toilet paper, there had to be standards to measure up to. Haruki Murakami
I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me. Jennie Finch
A short story is a sprint, a novel is a marathon. Sprinters have seconds to get from here to there and then they are finished. Marathoners have to carefully pace themselves so that they don't run out of energy (or in the case of the novelist-- ideas) because they have so far to run. To mix the metaphor, writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage. Jonathan Carroll
Michael Jackson quote: "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will..."
Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will win this marathon in court. Michael Jackson
I've run the Boston Marathon 6 times before. I think the best aspects of the marathon are the beautiful changes of the scenery along the route and the warmth of the people's support. I feel happier every time I enter this marathon. Haruki Murakami
A novel takes the courage of a marathon runner, and as long as you have to run, you might as well be a winning marathon runner. Serendipity and blind faith faith in yourself won't hurt a thing. All the bastards in the world will snicker and sneer because they haven't the talent to zip up their flies by themselves. To hell with them, particularly the critics. Stand in there, son, no matter how badly you are battered and hurt. Leon Uris
Emil Zatopek quote: "If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a..."
If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon. Emil Zatopek
If you don't ever stop singing, your voice stays in shape. It's like the marathon runner. You've got to run, run, run to stay in shape. Sammy Hagar
On the day of the race, as I run those very streets, will I be able to fully enjoy this autumn in New York? Or will I be too preoccupied? I won't know until I actually start running. If there's one hard and fast rule about marathons, it's that. Haruki Murakami
Good God.” He felt like he’d just finished running the Boston Marathon. How did she do it? How the hell did she do all that every day, and probably a lot more? But just the dinner, the squabbles, the mess, the sheer volume of stuff that needed to be remembered, done, handled with three kids. It was mentally and physically exhausting. Fun, he admitted, but exhausting. And she’d have to get up in the morning, get them up, dressed, fed. Then go to work. After work, she’d replay—basically—what... Nora Roberts
For every runner who tours the world running marathons, there are thousands who run to hear the leaves and listen to the rain, and look to the day when it is suddenly as easy as a bird in flight. George A. Sheehan
Michael Jackson quote: "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons."
Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. Michael Jackson
Haile Gebrselassie quote: "When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not..."
When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time. Haile Gebrselassie
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. Emil Zatopek
Sometimes for me not throwing a tantrum is what running a marathon or swimming the English Channel must be like for others of a less-challenging emotional nature... Roseanne Barr
