Winning times in the New York City Marathon have not dropped all that much over the years, but rather U.S. runners went backward. In 1983, there were 267 U.S. men who broke 2:20 in a marathon, and by 2000 that number was down to 27. ↗

Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best. ↗

I’m running a marathon. I won’t be jogging, walking, or sprinting, but I will be overseeing it. ↗

I love running. I’m not into marathons, but I am into avoiding problems at an accelerated rate.

But most of all I was inspired by the stirring examples of all the other runners. In some pictures they would seem like tiny dots in a mosaic, but each had a separate narrative starting a few months or a lifetime earlier and finishing that day in the New York City Marathon, the race with 37,000 stories. ↗

In a country where only men are encouraged, one must be one's own inspiration. ↗

If I run I lose so much weight, which I need because you're limited on weight when you are a tall driver. And have you seen marathon runners? They're quite skinny. ↗

Whenever I'm being invited to the New York City Marathon like today, I need to think twice because I know it's a very tough race. ↗
