Quote of the Week

"Running is the classical road to self-consciousness, self-awareness and self-reliance. Independence is the outstanding characteristic of the runner. He learns the harsh reality of his physical and mental limitations when he runs. He learns that personal commitment, sacrifice and determination are his only means to betterment. Runners only get promoted through self-conquest." 

-Noel Carroll, Irish track trailblazer

It's the kind of statement that is worth remembering; words that may be drawn on for inspiration and strength during some of those tough miles!
