Exercise: you don't have time not to
George A. Sheehan
If marathoners finish they win.
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
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
Sport is singularly able to give us peak experience where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.
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
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
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
Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant.
George A. Sheehan
I have found my hero and he is me.
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
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
Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
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
Once you have decided that winning isn't everything, you become a winner.
George A. Sheehan
If you want to find the answers to the Big Questions about your soul, you'd best begin with the Little Answers about your body.
George A. Sheehan
The music of a marathon is a powerful strain, one of those tunes of glory. It asks us to forsake pleasures, to discipline the body, to find courage, to renew faith and to become one's own person, utterly and completely.
George A. Sheehan
Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.
George A. Sheehan
The difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry blank.
George A. Sheehan
Every runner is an experiment of one.
George A. Sheehan
