favorite CAC quotes

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:56 am by Joan

Hey ya’ll,

I just put up a CAC records page in the right-hand column and now I’d like to add a favorite running quotes section.

So far, I have the following:

Kim Certain’s favorite:
“Don’t fear moving slowly forward … fear standing still.” - Kathleen Harris

John Hinton’s favorite:
“World records are only borrowed.”

- Sebastian Coe
(this was accompanied by John’s running goals … “to borrow world records”)

Joan Nesbit Mabe’s favorite:

“My hope is for the heart to strive forever.” - Joan Benoit Samuelson

Please add yours to the list!

      Is it a Davida Mabrida original?

      I’m pretty sure I got that from Todd Morgan. I’ve tried my best to commandeer it and take credit for it as if it were my own.
