In light of the fact that I have taken a more philosophical approach to my running this year, I have decided to occasionally add a George Sheehan quote to the blog. The late Dr. Sheehan is the quintessential runner-philosopher and I find myself flipping through one of his books on a regular basis for inspiration and insight on why I run so much. Anyway, here's a great Sheehan quote on one of my favorite topics...
"Runners have been described as people with energy, dedication and discipline. I like to think that I share in those qualities...but not before my cup of coffee. Coffee takes me out of my drowsy, half-awakened state and transforms me into a person eager to get on with the heroic quest."
