“Remember your end goal. The marathon is a celebration. It’s a victory lap for the sacrifice, commitment, dedication and effort that you have put forth week in and week out to tackle the journey of 26.2.” -@runmeb #BostonMarathon #Boston126

“Try to find a way to enjoy your marathon buildup. Don’t overthink the training, just aim to tick off the weeks and build consistency. Race day is the fun part so enjoy it.” @charliepurdue #BostonMarathon #Boston126

"The beauty of running is its simplicity; the beauty of runners is that we all have a similar drive to improve. We're either trying to run a best or toeing the line for the 1st time, which will snowball into a future of trying to run personal bests @DeenaKastor #running #snowday

"Mental toughness doesn't come from reading a book or listening to a motivational speaker, it's earned just like your physical fitness. Every time you make that tough decision to go run, you are building mental toughness. In the #marathon this is mandatory"-Greg Meyer

Running is a gift.

“In running, every step you make & every push forward changes you—it transforms you into a different person. You are not the same person you were at the starting line and by the time you cross the finish line, your inner self has been reinvented and reimagined." —Zen of Running

Some races require more… #BostonMarathon #Training

“I don’t think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don’t think about the mile I’m on right now, I don’t think about the miles I’ve already covered. I think about what I’m doing right now, just being lost in the moment.”@ryanhall3, fastest U.S. @bostonmarathon 2:04:58
