"I run for a tapestry of reasons. Woven in the fabric of my being is a need to control some facet of my life. To subjugate a truculent body to my will, to prove myself every day against a latent temptation/desire to sleep in, over-eat; succumb to the rigors of aging."
- taken from the chapter I'm Hooked! from Running On... by Elaine Doll-Dunn.

"I now invite you to join me on a whimsical "re-run" of the year's miles. Each marathon has its own personality, much as do our children, and I'd like you to meet them. Join me at the starting line of the year two-thousand. Double tie your shoes, check your race number, and carry at least three PowerGels. Its gonna be a looonnnngggg run."
- taken from the Preface to Gotta Run... by Elaine Doll-Dunn.

I heard you speak at the "Women Hold Up Half the Sky" Conference in Cerritos, CA. My friend and I were selling things at the back of the room as a fundraiser for our Team in Training marathon. You were very inspiring - you made me laugh and made me cry. How great is that? I purchased your book at the conference and absolutely love it and would like to order ten copies of your book for my other Team in Training friends and my running partners. They all would like it too, and I'm certain will find it as inspiring as I did. - Anne Marshall
