"Aiming for the marathon is a task of sorts which can include terrific highs and lows."

- Bill Rodgers

"I also feel it usually takes four or five races to hit your best marathon for your body to be accustomed to the training AND the race itself."

- Bill Rodgers

"Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie: those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running—the proverbial icing on the cake—has always been racing."

- Bill Rodgers

"My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble."
