“If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first day or if you’ve been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.” — John Bingham
“I am jealous of everyone who will be running from Hopkinton to Copley Square on Monday. The Boston Marathon is such a cool event that I would have wanted to go back and run it again even if I had won it last year. But losing so narrowly makes me want to go back all the more.” — Kara Goucher
“Smile. It makes a world of difference.
Dance. Who knows when you won’t be able to?
Cry. Holding those emotions in is bad for you.
Kiss. Kisses are the most wonderful things in the world.
Laugh. Whats the point in hiding happiness?
Hug. There’s no better feeling being wrapped up close to someone you love.
Live. Life is everything.”
