You probably already know I’m a big fan of motivational quotes. Just take a look at some of my favorites if you need a refresher. Usually I find new quotes on web sites and blogs, in magazines and newspaper articles, but recently I stumbled across a great book on Amazon.com which will keep me happy for quite some time!
The Gigantic Book of Running Quotations is almost 800 pages chock full of great motivational quotes, and is sure to inspire everyone from seasoned marathoners to running novices. It includes thoughts from famous athletes, writers, politicians, and more, including Percy Cerutty, Carl Lewis, Tom Brokaw, David Letterman, William Shakespeare, Farrah Fawcett, Emil Zátopek, Bill Rodgers, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sebastian Coe, Bill Clinton, Grete Waitz, Roger Bannister, and hundreds of others. The one thing they all have in common is their understanding that, as Amby Burfoot put it, “As we run, we become.”
Published in April 2008 and currently priced at only $15.25 (a saving of almost $10 off the list price), the hardcover Gigantic Book of Running Quotations offers great value for money and will be a welcome addition to any runners book shelf. Order your copy today!
I’ll work my way through the book as time permits and add to my list of favorites as and when I feel the urge. If you have a special motivational quote that you’d like to share, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this post.
Happy miles! Steve
