Cal Rising Stars Margeaux Jones and her loving Track Mom
I have received some great running quotes over the pass few months and as we look forward to the New Year and the 2010 Outdoor Track Season, just 3 or so months away, I though I would update you all on the quotes received and the new entries to TrackMom’s “Hall of Fame Track and Field Quotes”
I have always loved since I was a child writing down quotes of inspiration to encourage myself and to help me continue to look forward. Many of these are just that …Pure inspiration others, are just funny t-shirt saying to poke fun or to make a point. All of them are fun to read so here goes.
The latest installment of “Track Quotes”. Please keep them coming I read every single one of them as they come in personally. The quotes with an asterisk are some of my fav’s.
Your greatest competitor in a race, is yourself.
We don’t need wings to fly.
Pain is temporary… but quiting is forever.
The faster you get to the finish, the sooner your pain goes away…
Baby got track! *
If you want to limit yourself, that’s fine. but don’t let other people do it for you.
Track is different than any other sport. it is the only one that requires two ____instead of one ’ :- )
Throw with your heart.
There is no “Y” in running.
A good friend will be cheering you on at the end of a race, but a best friend will be in the lane next to you fighting you for 1st!*
If you have to ask why we run, then you will never understand when your legs get tired, let your heart do the restI run so I can eat more.
Practice like you’re second, race like you’re first.*
