Quotes from Gerry Lindgren

My key to victory was that I always went out way too fast. Too fast erases every other race strategy out there. Everyone is hanging on for dear life or they give up.

Everyone dies whether one is good in their lifetime or evil in their lifetime. So virtue has no payback. Life is meaningless. When you die, you die!

The FEAR of becoming dehydrated causes dehydration. As with so many things in our life, it is because we KNOW it is a problem that it is a problem.

Set a master goal for your running and for your life...

This life is made to change all reality. We are here for the benefit, happiness, and welfare of a new reality; a new direction.

If you look at your life and compare your life to that of an evil person, you will find that in most regards both lives are the same. You don't live a longer life or live forever by being virtuous.

The only thing that lives beyond the grave is the wake you have created by the way you have lived your life; the goals you have set; the distance away from the normal you dared to tread.

There is NOTHING you can do with your running time that is better for you than running. Any other activity only pulls you down and erases passion.

We didn't keep track of how many miles we ran back then. We just ran. If you LOVE to run with the kind of passion I have for running, you will understand this. Running was my mode of transportation.

I would instill in my team an attitude of role modeling. We run to teach other people the value of physical activity. In all things, be humble and appreciative; hurt no one; help anyone you can.

Kids are afraid that if they race too fast they will get tired. Way too much fear and way too little COURAGE.

COURAGE is not a quality you teach. Courage is the by-product of self-discipline. It is an ATTITUDE.

Goals should be impossible! You should tread FEARLESSLY where the brave dare not go.
