Alright, Marcie is running this weekend, and its all I can think about! So I have been thinking of inspiring mantras for Marcie, and then for the Long Beach Marathoners in a few weeks. Ill share a few quotes, and invite any of you to share your favorite quote for Marcie!
Here is the one that Cynthia gave me the night before I got my PR at PF Chang's 2009. I thought of this quote ALLOT while running!
"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."
Jacqueline Gareau
And then my newest favorite quote, that I might need to call on during my next race-
"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more."
Steve Prefontaine
"Run like the Wind!!!"
Marcie Clark
"Better make this good, its what youll be thinking about for the rest of the day, week, month, year..."
