Story

Here we go again! For the second year on the trot we are running the Paris Marathon and hoping to pick up a few quid on the way for MacMillan Cancer Support.

My favourite Marathon Quotes....

1. Unknown:

"There will be days you don't think you can run a marathon. There will be a lifetime of knowing you have."

2. Mary R. Wittenberg, president, New York Road Runners Club:

"A marathoner is a marathoner regardless of time. Virtually everyone who tries the marathon has put in training over months, and it is that exercise and that commitment, physical and mental, that gives meaning to the medal, not just the day’s effort, be it fast or slow.  It's all in conquering the challenge."

3. Rob de Castella, winner 1983 World Marathon Championships:

"If you feel bad at 10 miles, you're in trouble. If you feel bad at 20 miles, you're normal. If you don't feel bad at 26 miles, you're abnormal."

4. Frank Shorter, 1972 Olympic marathon gold medalist:

"You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming."

5. Unknown:

"It's not 26.2 miles...it's 10 water stops."
