More quotes by Dean Karnazes
Somewhere along the line we seem to have confused comfort with happiness.
Dean Karnazes
I run with a credit card and a cell phone, so when there is not a 7-Eleven around, like some of the country roads out there, I can get him to deliver a pizza to me. And I kind of give them a coordinate, a corner.
Dean Karnazes
I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.
Dean Karnazes
How to run an ultramarathon ? Puff out your chest, put one foot in front of the other, and don't stop till you cross the finish line.
Dean Karnazes
As long as my heart's still in it, I'll keep going. If the passion's there, why stop?... There'll likely be a point of diminishing returns, a point where my strength will begin to wane. Until then, I'll just keep plodding onward, putting one foot in front of the other to the best of my ability. Smiling the entire time.
Dean Karnazes
I love to run and I have some tips to keep it fresh and novel. I rarely use the same route twice. That keeps things new.
Dean Karnazes
Endurance running was my passion, my ride. So here, I was in the driver's seat, running for two days straight pushing the mental and physical limits striving to be better, to go farther, to give more.
Dean Karnazes
I do a lot of marathons as training runs. If I'm somewhere and there's a marathon, I'll sign up and just go run it.
Dean Karnazes
I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary.
Dean Karnazes
Even if you're inches away from the finish, never take success for granted.
Dean Karnazes
If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations.
Dean Karnazes
If you keep chasing your dreams, one day you'll catch them.
Dean Karnazes
I eat nothing that's processed or refined - no high-fructose corn syrup, no sugar, no trans-fats. I eat a lot of fish and monounsaturated fats from olives, olive oil and nuts. A lot of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables. No bread. No gluten. No wheat. No rice.
Dean Karnazes
Some seek the comfort of their therapist's office, other head to the corner pub and dive into a pint, but I chose running as my therapy.
Dean Karnazes
Toeing the starting line of a marathon, regardless of the language you speak, the God you worship or the color of your skin, we all stand as equal. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people ran.
Dean Karnazes
Want a strong, solid relationship that is willing to go the distance? Get to know your running shoes.
Dean Karnazes
Don't run with your legs, run with your heart.
Dean Karnazes
Listen to everyone, follow no one.
Dean Karnazes
Runners are competitive folks. I think some might feel slighted they haven't got more recognition. I think they have a point. In running, you won't necessarily get noticed just for turning in good performances.
Dean Karnazes
Go out hard and finish harder.
