Quote from : My First 100 Marathons: 2,260 Miles with an Obsessive Runner Book

I didn't understand it at the time, but our bodies need attention and encouragement as much as our minds. They are not meant to be kept quiet, preserved like a specimen in a jar. We are meant to . When we forget that we are not just intellectual, emotional, and spiritual beings, but also animals, we do so at our peril.
