More quotes by George A. Sheehan
Every runner is an experiment of one.
George A. Sheehan

George A. Sheehan
Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.
George A. Sheehan
Running makes you an athlete in all areas of life...trained in the basics, prepared for whatever comes, ready to fill each hour and deal with the decisive moment.
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
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

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

George A. Sheehan
Exercise: you don't have time not to
George A. Sheehan
The most important thing I learned [from running] is that there is only one runner in this race, and that is me.
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
Once you have decided that winning isn't everything, you become a winner.
George A. Sheehan
If marathoners finish they win.
George A. Sheehan
No matter how old I get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. My times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others.
George A. Sheehan
Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
George A. Sheehan
I have found my hero and he is me.
George A. Sheehan
