The trainer for the joints in Motion Team sent out a bunch of inspirational quotes. Some of them weren't so inspirational but I thought that this one was certainly worthy of posterity.
I wish I had said it.
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters.
If you want to experience something, run a marathon.
Emil Zatopek
Emil Zátopek (September 19, 1922 - November 22, 2000) was a Czech athlete probably best known for his amazing feat of winning three gold medals in athletics at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. He won gold in the 5 km and 10 km runs, but his final medal came when he decided at the last minute to compete in the first marathon of his life. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest runners of the 20th century and was also known for his brutal training methods.
