Which Lenin, Lennon?
"I've got a lot of courage, but I've also got a lot of fear. You should allow yourself to be scared. It's one of the prime emotions. You might almost enjoy it, funny as it sounds, and find that you can get over it and deal with it. If you ignore these things, you miss so much."
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill
Quote is definitely from "The Sure Thing". The girl was Daphne Zuniga, who later went on to "Space balls" and "Melrose Place" fame.
"The Sure Thing" is a classic movie. I think that Rob Reiner directed that one.Also has Tim Robbins (also pairs with Cusack in "Tapeheads" and has a stint in "High Fidelity"),Anthony Edwards, and the introduction of one fine hottie named Nicolette Sheridan.Wow.

while i was 20 seconds from completing at threshold run 2 years ago some guy sees me while stopped at a light and yells "DAAAAAAAAAMN YOU SKINNY!"
To the 400 runner,"Hurry back!"
To all of the other runners,"Run hard, turn left."

arthur, you'll have to excuse me, I thought this was about whining, not self-defecating wit? And the center of the track and field universe of whining is Boulder. What is it about the place? It seems everyone there hates everyone else.
Really it is a laid back place, as long as you agree with them.
Hey, the divorce rate is something like twice the rate of new marriages.
I figured out what a chain store is for Boulder people. If you don't like the store, chain yourself to the front door.
True story. SI covered Milrose or somesch a long time ago.
Candy Young won the hurdles and Marty Liquori won whatever it was he ran. The headline read "Candy Was Dandy and Liquori Was Quicker."
A couple of posters have implied how regular folk don't have a good sense of distance. I was finishing a run from school once and a large black lady near the credit union got out of her car and said, "OOOweee! Didn't I see you running over to da park?" The total run was like 5 miles, and the park was only about 2.5 away, but to her it might as well have been 100 miles. Of course, since so many people see runners and get pissed, it's nice to have the unintended compliment every once in a while.

"I drink and smoke and enjoy the game too much," wrote Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond spy thrillers. "You shouldn't do any of those things if you want to win at poker. Poker is a cold-hearted, deadly game that breaks and bankrupts men."

This is the worst translation of this piece of scripture I have ever seen.
