“Just like the mountain sometimes does not let you pass, the heat would not allow me to run in those canyons as I wished.”
Chris Zehetleitner, Runhundred: Heart Versus Heat at Western States 100

“Just like the mountain sometimes does not let you pass, the heat would not allow me to run in those canyons as I wished.”
Chris Zehetleitner, Runhundred: Heart Versus Heat at Western States 100

“Flow is something the reader experiences, not the writer.”
Verlyn Klinkenborg

“(Home is) a place we carry inside ourselves, a place where we welcome the unfamiliar because we know that as time passes it will become the very bedrock of our being.”
Verlyn Klinkenborg, The Rural Life

“Right before you head out running, it can be hard to remember exactly why you're doing it. You often have to override a nagging sense of futility, lacing up your shoes, telling yourslef that no matter how unlikely it seems right now, after you finish you will be glad you went. It's only afterward that it makes sense, although even then it's hard to rationalize why. You just feel right. After a run, you feel at one with the world, as though some unspecified, innate need has been fulfilled.”
Adharanand Finn, Running with the Kenyans: Passion, Adventure, and the Secrets of the Fastest People on Earth

“The Devil whispered in my ear: ‘You’re not strong enough to withstand the storm.’ I whispered back: ‘I am the storm.”
Adharanand Finn, The Rise of the Ultra Runners: A Journey to the Edge of Human Endurance
