Love the body you have. It carries you through the day. Every day! Everything changed the day that I understood that if I was to become a runner, I would have to run with the body I had. ~ John Bingham
No one can take away your accomplishments. May it be a 5k, a 10k, a half marathon or a full marathon. You own it! Forever! There will be days when I don’t know if I can run a marathon. There will be a lifetime knowing that I have.~ Unknown
