Percy Cerutty, pioneering running coach

anon.

It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired - you quit when the gorilla is tired.
Robert Strauss

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography and the dancers hit each other.
Jack Handey

Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.
Yogi Berra
