Running quotes

by SkinnyRunner on December 20, 2009

Here’s some funny running quotes I found online and/or have had on my blog:

 

“Jogging is for people who aren’t intelligent enough to watch television.”   -Victoria Wood

If it were any easier, it’d be called football.

“Everybody can’t be good, there has to be somebody to stand on the curb and cheer us on.”  – Bill Rodgers

If you went for a run today and didn’t sacrifice anything, congratulations you just jogged.

Running-cheaper than therapy.

Running-it’s a mental sport and we’re all insane.

Death before DNF.

A marathon is just a 10k with a 20 mile warmup.

My favorites:

Girl, please, my mascara runs faster than you do!

If running were easy, it’d be called your mom.

Run like you stole something.

I highlighted my favorites.   What’s your favorite or do you have a good one to add?

This is much sappier than any of yours, but I’ve been obsessed with this one for a long time now:

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle – when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

In high school track, the dad of one of my friends gave us this little nugget:
“Run fast, turn left.”

I love quotes! I don’t hate the track [as much] anymore, but I always felt this way too!

“I love running cross country…On a track, I feel like a hamster.” -Robin Williams

The track coach from my old high school used to say “Pain is weakness leaving the body” about running

At a race I once saw a girl wearing a shirt that said “It never gets easier, you just get faster”. At the time I prayed that wasn’t true, now the thought gets me through most races.

I love those! My recent favorite is one that I saw on a bumper sticker (and am thinking about buying) “My sport is your sport’s punishment” :)
