My Top Ten Favourite Running Quotes
On this page you find the ten Best Running Quotes.Well, according to me... :)
I split them up in two categories.
The Best Five Funny Quotes and The Best Five Inspirational Quotes.
I decided to not just whack a few hundred running quotes in this section. That's easy to do. Just browse the web for two minutes. But I only want to show a selection. Only the best will do for you !
So I have picked ten quotes. That I thought were funny or useful in some way. And many readers of this website have submitted quotes as well. Quotes that mean something to them. Sometimes by themselves. Sometimes from famous runners. But quotes important enough to them to submit. So, you can find those on the following pages.
Enjoy !
