Inspirational Quotation

For running:  Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”  Lance Armstrong

For life:  “Never make a permanent decision while in a temporary state of mind.”  (Bruce Meeks, a good friend)

Brief Running History

I began running in 1991 after starting a new and very stressful job.  I quickly came to love the sport and the friends that I’ve made along the way.  Running makes me happy and productive.
