| gptkbp:famous_quote |
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship. “ To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” “ I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid of not trying.” “ Somebody may beat me, but they’re going to have to bleed to do it.” “ I run to see who has the most guts.” “ The only good race is a race you win.” " To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." The only good race pace is a suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die. I don't run to be skinny. I run to be a better runner. Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it. |
