In My Mind, I Am A Kenyan
 
My Sport Is Your Sport's "Punishment"
 
Fartlek: It's a running thing
 
(front) Registering for a Marathon ... $75
(back) Finishing a Marathon ... PRICELESS 

In the race to be a champion, there is no finish line.
 
While you were sleeping I was producing lactic acid.
 
1.approach    2.pass     3.laugh     4.repeat
  
Why are all of you chasing me?
 
If I'm not limping, it's because BOTH sides hurt.
  
A marathon is just a 10K race with a 20 mile warm up.
 
Any idiot can run, it takes a special kind of idiot to run a marathon.

HONK if you're about to run me over!
 
It's that last .2 that really kicks your ass!

 
And my personal favorite....... Your pace? Or mine? (wink)
