“Men of Oregon, I invite you to become students of your events. Running, one might say, is basically an absurd past-time upon which to be exhausting ourselves. But if you can find meaning, in the kind of running you have to do to stay on this team, chances are you will be able to find meaning in another absurd past-time: life.”
- Bill Bowerman, University of Oregon head Cross Country and middle/long distance Indoor/Outdoor Track Coach, collegiate men’s division
I do like to drink beer but you can keep the booze if I was given one of two choices - miles, speed, and pain or Bud Light.
There is no purer feeling.
