Pain is temporary, quitting is Permanent!

What a great quote.

As someone who runs ultramarathons up and over the mountain trails of the good ol’ USA, this is a great quote to keep filed away. Here are some more that help me through difficult and challenging endurance attempts:

  • “Never make a race decision on an uphill”
  • “Crossfitters never quit”
  • “There are others suffering too – some more than you”

Next time you’re in a race, or even challenged by life in general, chant one of these and keep moving forward.
