Not a running quote but it applies....
"People ask me why I ride my bike for six hours a day; what is the pleasure? The answer is that I don't do it for the pleasure. I do it for the pain.

-- Lance Armstrong

Bruce Tulloh:

"During a race when the pace gets so fast that you think you cant hang on any longer, accelerate! I train harder than anyone else and if its hurting me it must be hurting them more!"
Fantastic!
