More quotes by George A. Sheehan
Every runner is an experiment of one.
George A. Sheehan
Play is where life lives
George A. Sheehan
Success rests with having the courage and endurance and, above all, the will to become the person you are, however peculiar that may be. Then you will be able to say, I found my hero and he is me.
George A. Sheehan
People begin running for any number of motives, but we stick to it for one basic reason-to find out who we really are.
George A. Sheehan
The distance runner is mysteriously reconciling the separations of body and mind, of pain and pleasure, of the conscious and the unconscious. He is repairing the rent, and healing the wound in his divided self. He has found a way to make the ordinary extraordinary the commonplace unique the everyday eternal.
George A. Sheehan
Some think guts is sprinting at the end of a race. But guts is what got you there to begin with. Guts start back in the hills with 6 miles to go and you're thinking of how you can get out of this race without anyone noticing. Guts begin when you still have forty minutes of torture left and you're already hurting more than you ever remember.
George A. Sheehan
Running is just such a monastery- a retreat, a place to commune with God and yourself, a place for psychological and spiritual renewal.
George A. Sheehan
Sweat cleanses from the inside. It comes from places a shower will never reach.
George A. Sheehan
Of all the races, there is no better stage for heroism than a marathon.
George A. Sheehan
I have a bumper sticker that Bowen created that says Regardless of my kids grades, they have an 'A' in my book'. Without play the child that still lives in all of us will always be incomplete. And not only physically, but creatively, intellectually, and spiritually as well.
George A. Sheehan
We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.
George A. Sheehan
The more I run, the more I want to run, and the more I live a life conditioned and influenced and fashioned by my running. And the more I run, the more certain I am that I am heading for my real goal: to become the person I am.
George A. Sheehan
There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.
George A. Sheehan
Sport is an essential element of education.
George A. Sheehan
Why race? The need to be tested, perhaps the need to take risks and the chance to be number one.
George A. Sheehan
Exercise: you don't have time not to
George A. Sheehan
To know you are one with what you are doing, to know that you are a complete athlete, begins with believing you are a runner.
George A. Sheehan
Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant.
George A. Sheehan
Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
George A. Sheehan
Do not tell me what to do, tell me what you do. Do not tell me what is good for me, tell me what is good for you. If, at the same time, you reveal the you in me, if you become a mirror to my inner self, then you have made a reader and a friend.
George A. Sheehan
