“Don't get discouraged. As far as I'm concerned, a positive attitude is the most important attribute any runner can have. You'll need it often. Every runner has bad days, every runner has occasional injuries, and every runner eventually slows down (take it from someone who has slowed down a lot). But as long as you maintain a positive attitude, you'll find ways to overcome the obstacles and continue running. After all, running offers countless rewards. It's simply up to you to find the ones that have the most meaning for you.” WayNeedsLongImportantRunningAttitudeOffersConcernedOvercomingRewardsObstaclesPositive AttitudeInjuryAttributesRunnersSlow DownDiscouragedUp To YouOccasionalBad Day Author:Amby Burfoot

“After I hurt the knee, football wasn't nearly as much fun. I was limited. But you make do with what you have. I adjusted some.

I could barely run, other than to drop back to pass.” KindLongTwoDifferentPlayRunningFunHurtCareersFootballLuckyLateLegsKneesMusclesInjuryDifferent KindsHamstringsKnee Injuries Author:Joe Namath
