also when my school hosted the olymic runner billy mills he said something about when he was running the race in tokyo before he pulled his amazing sprint that won the race the USA
"And while i was running on that back stretch all i could think about was i could stop right here...i could pull off the track and fall right into that japanese official and the cameras wouldnt see it and nobody would know i failed...but then i started thinking...ok maybe on the next lap..and then next thing i knew..i had only one lap left and i started thinking...maybe i can just pull by this guy.."
if you have ever heard billys story then you know that this is the point where he passed the men who had the best odds...and even tho im sure none of us runners plan on running a 10k around a track..any distance track runner has had this feeling of "ok i can give up right here and nobody would think less of me" but then you just keep going..

It is one of the hardest events I have ever done in my life!
And I run cross country ,800's 400's and 100 meter hurdles.
So I completely disagree and am sightly offended by this.

Couch to 5k to half marathon huh? That sounds pretty awesome! I run for fitness and at best would do 35 klms in a week. A half marathon sounds fun but I am yet to try one : )

I'm a high school runner and saw this one on another team's shirts at pre-states last year; I thought it was funny
"Throw a tomato and ketchup!"
Some More:
"We don't need wings to make us fly."
"If you ain't first, yer last!"
"We're not fast, you're just slow"
"Come on and catch me, i dare you"
"Runners... yeah we're crazy"
"We play cross country."
"Since you're behind, how's mine?"
"WARNING: the Surgen General didn't say anything about not smoking the competition."
"Kick Assphalt"
"We work ours off so we can kick yours"
