“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 want to run until I can’t run

Being a lifelong runner, knowing what running gives me, a variety of factors – that is what motivates me.

The marathon can humble you.

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year – but for a lifetime.

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.

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.

If we made atomic bombs, we would bring about a terrible change in the world. Who knows what would happen from this?

In America, it was decided to attempt the production of atomic bombs with an effort that would constitute a large part of the collective American war effort.

The 20th century was a test bed for big ideas – fascism, communism, the atomic bomb.

With all this information available, at least to privileged persons, I cannot understand why it is generally held in the United States that we completely missed the basic principle of the bomb until after Hiroshima.

You feel wonderful, you feel like somebody knows you’re alive, you feel fear because it could be a bomb, because you think you’re that important.

The fighter can only be used as a bomb carrier with lasting effect when sufficient air superiority has been won.
