Famous quotes

“In my opinion, jogging was only for people with a congenital quirk. A lot of chromosomes had to be cruelly entangled to get a person to do their laps in the cold and rain instead of cuddling in their warm bed. Today I cannot understand that not everyone is running. You feel so alive, energetic and healthy. ”
