39 Quotes by Amby Burfoot

It’s not about how fast you go. It’s not about how far you go. It’s a process.

Courage is crossing a starting line.

In running, it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress. You can’t lose this race because you’re not running against anyone else. You’re only running against yourself, and as long as you are running, you are winning.

To get to the finish line, you’ll have to try lots of different paths.

Don’t judge your running by your speed.

That’s the beauty of starting lines: Until you begin a new venture, you never know what awaits you.

It’s not about speed and gold medals. It’s about refusing to be stopped.

Best wishes for a great marathon. Be sure to savor it. The first marathon is something special. Run long and healthy.

You have to want it, you have to plan for it, you have to fit it into a busy day, you have to be mentally tough, you have to use others to help you. The hard part isn’t getting your body in shape. The hard part is getting your mind in shape.
