Joy

“They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!”
― C. JoyBell C.

“But you can't muscle through a five-hour run that way; you have to relax into it like easing your body into a hot bath, until it no longer resists the shock and begins to enjoy it.”

“I could feel my anger dissipating as the miles went by--you can't run and stay mad!”
― Kathrine Switzer, Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women's Sports

“I'll be happy if running and I can grow old together.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
