Training for my first marathon I had these quotes taped up all around the house, on mirrors, the fridge, the alarm clock, computer screen…
“If you always do what you’ve always done then you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.”
“Satisfied?”
“What will you do today to get you to Boston in April?”
(on the mirror) “Create in yourself the image you want to see.”
…etc.
When going through hell…keep going.

What was it Collins said on the NBC IM 25th broadcast?
“You can quit, and no one will care, but you will always know.”
… or something to that effect. Love that one.
Yeah that was a good one. There was another one that I remembered that went something like “15 hours of struggle … a lifetime of bragging”
