running giving-up distance
I wasn't born with any innate talent. I've never been naturally gifted at anything. I always had to work at it. The only way I knew how to succeed was to try harder than anyone else.

Others might be faster, but I could go longer. My strongest quality is that I never give up. Dean Karnazes

running distance passion
Distance running was revered because it was indispensable; it was the way we survived and thrived and spread across the planet.

And like everything else we love-everything we sentimentally call our 'passions' and 'desires'-it's really an encoded ancestral necessity. We were born to run; we were born because we run. Christopher McDougall

Death, he supposed, was the punch line. Lauren Oliver
