So true, yeye, so true.

I saw a bumper sticker with that on it and I wish I had that back in High School when I was running cross country.

"The polite term for those afraid to run distance is SPRINTERS!"
Sadly, I am in track and not allowed to quit. So after I finish to 800's and 1600's I get to auctually run. Nobody joins me, though. I think they're afraid to try. Either that or they know I'll kick their butt when it comes to endurance. I'm the only runner on the track team. Even the coaches don't run.

There are runners and then there are runners.
There are those that are just out to get a letter. These are the ones that finish a race and go sit down and joke around with friends. Then there are those that are out for the love of running. They are the ones that you will see finishing up a race and then going for another 2-3 mile run. After the run, then they will joke around with friends, but probably while standing.
I think that what youngrunner is saying is everybody else is just out for the letter. They don't really care about running. She is the only one that really cares about it.

I like the sprinters one!
Life is short, running makes it seem longer.
I ran and ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid, and then I ran some more.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
(one of my favorite shirts)
I'm with the bomb squad. If you see me running, try to keep up.
For the ultra runners:
"If you start to feel good during an ultra, dont' worry you will get over it." - Gene Thibeault
"Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it will not survive. Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be moving." - Maurice Greene (attributed to Roger Bannister shortly after running the first sub-4 mile)

Just found this one. 
"There are clubs you can't belong to, neighborhoods you can't live in, schools you can't get into, but the roads are always open." - Nike
So true.
And this one:
Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed. ~Charles Schulz, Peanuts
Ok. This site has some great ones: http://www.quotegarden.com/running.html

Ok. THis is my last one for a while. I am only posting this because LC and Gretreiver will get a kick out of it.
"There are actually people who cheat at race walks; they enter a race walk, then run to win. You know you've given up in life when you cheat at a race walk. You've decided that you're so pathetic the only way you can win is by cheating against people who aren't even competing."
Michael Logsdon

Yeah, what I'm saying is I'm the only one really devoted to running. Others are just there to be with their friends. If one person quits, then usally others in that group of friends quit. When I tell people that off season I run 20+ miles a week for the fun of it and am working hard on increasing my mileage, they are shocked. They think it's crazy.
Oh, and a few people run because they like it, but I've talked to them and they've never considered off season running.
