Quotes of the Day for 9 February 2004 - Running

Getting back to reader requests, one of our subscribers ran a half marathon last month and wanted quotes on running. Personally, I'm with Neil Armstrong and Satchel Paige on the subject. But I guess I'll get a little exercise picking out quotes on this exhausting subject.

     - Lucretius

I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
     - Neil Armstrong

I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.
