“Every time I bomb out, I have to come back. I have a feeling after a bad race that my next one will be good.”

I often lose motivation, but it’s something I accept as normal.

Runners…you’re competitive, but you want to have fun, too. You want to enjoy life. And runners really get to do that, I think-after we recover.

Every race is totally different.

Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s

You cannot always run at your best.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc

Don’t feel guilty about driving somewhere nice to run. If people can drive to a park to eat hot dogs, you can drive there to run.

Running is a very natural activity. If you get too caught up, you find yourself constantly seeking to make running something that it isn’t.

The advice I have for beginners is the same philosophy that I have for runners of all levels of experience and ability — consistency, a sane approach, moderation and making your running an enjoyable, rather than dreaded, part of your life.

However, I’ve also trained as much as 130 miles per week during periods when I worked a full-time job. It ultimately becomes second nature. It becomes a habit, a routine part of your daily life

Hills are terrific for running

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

I ran my fastest marathon in the rain.

My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.

My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.

Always take the long term view and train and race smart, with a bit of caution.

I mean you can learn how to build a bullet or build a gun or build a bomb on the Internet.

Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.

In order to feel safer on his private jet, actor John Travolta has purchased a bomb-sniffing dog. Unfortunately for the actor, the dog came six movies too late.

ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity? Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age.

Once I had told her that I would rather see a museum bombed than a book underlined, but she dismissed my argument as mere sentimentality. She marked her books so that stunning images and ideas would not be lost to her.

Temptation, if it is not to conquer, must not fall like a bomb against another bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid.

The atom bomb is a paper tiger which the United States reactionaries use to scare people. It looks terrible, but in fact it isn’t.

I took no position on just where they stand on the scale of horrors relative to Auschwitz, the bombing of Chungking, Lidice, and so on.
