More quotes by 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
Why race? The need to be tested, perhaps the need to take risks and the chance to be number one.
George A. Sheehan
I have found my hero and he is me.
George A. Sheehan
Sweat cleanses from the inside. It comes from places a shower will never reach.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
No matter how old I get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences.
George A. Sheehan
Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
George A. Sheehan
Play is where life lives
George A. Sheehan
Every runner is an experiment of one.
George A. Sheehan
Exercise: you don't have time not to
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
Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.
George A. Sheehan
Sport is an essential element of education.
