It seems when I was younger, I had a bit of a Pre-obsession. I found a bunch of quotes I used to have on my wall in a box in my parents' house the other day; here are some of the best for your runners out there to be inspired by.
You think, 'Why should I do this? i don't have to run this hard.' But that's when I think about them. They keep me going.

Running is the only sport. The rest are just games.
I'm going to try to work it out so in the end it will be a pure guts race, and if it is, I am the only one that can win.

Life is thirst.
--Leonard Michaels
You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
--Pre
I'm not afraid of losing. But if I do, I want it to be a good race. I'm an artist, a performer. I want people to appreciate the way I run.
--Pre
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice your gift.
--Pre
Being fast has nothing to do with speed; it's how much pain you can handle.
--Pre
Some people create with words, or with music, or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, "I've never seen anyone run like that before." It's more than just a race; it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
