I want to stop running away from everything. I want to find something to run toward. - Hannah Harrington June is gone. For the first time, the enormity of that hits me. Every muscle aches, my heart most of all. I am throbbing with how much I miss her. It hurts worse than anything. I don't know how I'm supposed to be expected to live day to day carrying this kind of pain. I don't know how I'm supposed to go out there, spread her ashes, and let her go. I want to stop running away from everything. I want to find something to run toward. - Hannah Harrington Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found. - Lao Tzu

...that was Bud Caldwell's Rules and Things to Have a Funner LIfe and Make a Better Liar Out of Yourself Number 83...If a Adult Tells You Not to Worry, and You Weren't Worried Before, You Better Hurry Up and Start 'Cause You're Already Running Late. - Christopher Paul Curtis She was tempted to take the elevator instead of the stairs just this once. But that was how it started. Take the elevator tonight because she was tired and her feet hurt from having been trapped in three-inch stilettos all day, and then tomorrow she'd want to take it because she was running late. Then, the next thing she knew she'd be taking elevators all over the place because she got winded climbing stairs. - Melissa F Miller Sorry I'm late, Ms. Egami said to the class. She dropped her papers, which scattered in that special way papers do when one is running late. - Adam Rex

A baseball manager recognizes a nonphysical talent, hustle, as an essential gift of great players and great teams. It is the characteristic of running faster than necessary, moving sooner than necessary, trying harder than necessary. It is essential for great programming teams, too. - Frederick P Brooks Jr Now, anybody who thinks that we can move this economy forward with just a few folks at the top doing well, hoping that it's going to trickle down to working people who are running faster and faster just to keep up, you'll never see it. - Barack Obama You don't win races by wishing, you win them by running faster than everyone else does. - Philip Pullman The strip of earthy, faintly visible outside the window, was running faster now, blending into a gray stream. Through the dry phrases of calculations in her mind, she noticed that she did have time to feel something: it was the hard, exhilarating pleasure of action. - Ayn Rand My focus in 2010 was on just running fast...

To be the highest-paid running back ever is quite an honor. - Shaun Alexander Without bragging, I've been blessed to have five of the greatest statistical years for a running back. - Shaun Alexander I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season. - Shaun Alexander It actually took me a year to learn how to play running back - to understand what they were doing defensively and then what our guys were doing every single play. - Marcus Allen At USC, if you're running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones. - Marcus Allen With her fingers running back up my arms, and all this sperm talk, things are getting a little too intense down below. I lean slightly forward, conveniently placing my forearms across my lap. - Jay Asher A paparazzo once jumped out of a car and started running backward with me. I slowed down out of courtesy because she st...

I started running away when I was five years old. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized what I really wanted was somebody to come after me when I was running away. - Willie Aames It's because you're different. You can't live life by rules others give you. In that way, you and I are the same. You have to find your own rules. All my life I've been running away from their rules, Hayat. All my life. You will be the same. - Ayad Akhtar With these words Jake had let go of me. Which proved that he knew more about why I was leaving than even I did. I had believed that I was running away from what had happened. I did not know, not until I met Nicholas days later, that the whole time I was really running towards what was yet to be. - Jodi Picoult It was Friday, July 24, 1992, when I stepped on the train. Every year I think of it. I see it as my real birthday: the birth of me as a person, making decisions about my life on my own. I was not running away from Islam,...

Sometimes for me not throwing a tantrum is what running a marathon or swimming the English Channel must be like for others of a less-challenging emotional nature.. - Roseanne Barr I want a driveway so long you couldn't see the end of it even if you were 26.1 miles into running a marathon on it. But why would you run? That's why my clone will have invented teleportation. - Jarod Kintz I'm running a marathon. I won't be jogging, walking, or sprinting, but I will be overseeing it. - Jarod Kintz I love my lifestyle now, but at the end of nine months, you're toast. You are toast. It's like running a marathon. You can't think while you're doing it. Especially when different directors come in who are not part of the posse, the circle. - Christopher Meloni I thought about running a marathon a long time ago, but I'm just not a runner. - Shannon Miller Anybody who is running a marathon or doing a walkathon, doing a fundraiser for their school, their comp...

Everyone is in such a hurry. People haven't found meaning in their lives, so they're running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running. Once you start running, it's hard to slow yourself down. - Mitch Albom Livia, when I count to three, I want to you to run into the trees," Blake whispered. "And keep running. Promise me." He sounded calm and determined. "Absolutely not." Livia turned from their escape route. "I'm never leaving you." "Livia, please." Blake squeezed her hand and tried to force her in the right direction. She squeezed right back. - Debra Anastasia You get very tired, and there was a certain amount of pain and you slow up. Your legs are so tired that you are in fact slowing. If you don't keep running, keep your blood circulating, the muscles stop pumping the blood back and you get dizzy. - Roger Ban...

I hit the ground running, without a lot of training, so I had to do whatever I could do to survive as a professional, and if that meant being that character 24/7 and acting out, I was going to do that. I lived those characters, I brought them home with me. - Nicolas Cage I still when I wake up hit the ground running; and having an illness, I'm only one of hundreds of thousands of people that live with an illness, and I'm just in awe of the bravery and dignity of the people I see at the hospital. - Karen Duffy I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running. - Lady Gaga

But this was one way of knowing people, she thought: to know the outline, not the detail, to sit in one's garden and look at the slopes of a hill running purple down into the distant heather. - Virginia Woolf I believe you'll develop speed via strength work which includes hill running, either repeats, or running hilly courses as the Kenyans do on a steady basis. - Bill Rodgers

Her eyes suddenly went round. "Hang on. You shoved him!" "She shoved him?" I turned to glare at Nate. "Yes. And she's always running off on him." Suki shook her head at me. "We'd treat him much better if he was ours- - Sarah Alderson Doesn't he own a shirt?" I asked, grabbing a spade. "Unfortunately, I don't think so. Not even in the winter. He's always running around half-dressed." She groaned. "Its disturbing that I have to see so much of his...skin. Yuck." Yuck for her. And hot damn for me. - Jennifer L Armentrout The reason time is always running out is because it has nothing else better to do. - Carroll Bryant The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up. - William Hazlitt Love you always, miss you always... running day and night, leaving the place of sun and moon, of ice and snow. Never look back, never forget. - Jessica Day George Girls are...
