Famous quotes by Joe Henderson:

"I like to feel prepared and then ignore it. What will be will be. We ain't scared."

"It feels kind of forced."

"I felt that I needed to branch out, ... I enjoyed racing in Nashville but there's a limit as to how far you can go there."

"The water's all the way up to the roof and it's just one of those things you've never seen. It's hard to describe,"

"I'm in constant search of new information and ideas, and I want to make the best of this short time that we're out here on this planet living this nebulous thing called life. And I want to plant a few trees along the way and nurture some minds and watch them grow, as people did for me."

"A lesser but still fundamental rule of racing is that you properly enter the event. Anyone who doesn't but still insists on running interferes with the paying customers."

"I feared the verdict of the watch, where I either lost the race against time that day or would lose it soon by making the record even harder to break. The time trap had snapped shut."

"Speed eventually neared its peak. The records forced me to work ever harder to drop a less and less time. These time trials came to feel like races, which are fun to run sporadically but not daily."

"Time means a great deal to every runner. It means everything to me, because most days miles don't count; only minutes do."

"The records fell easily at first. Dozens of seconds peeled away with every running of a course, and I could hardly wait for the next chance to improve."

"The results would have stayed on the watch face until the batteries died. But trying to make time stand still this way would have been a mistake. It is just as important to erase times eventually as to save them at first."

"His name, Buzz, fits. He can buzz along at 40 miles an hour when his genetic memory moves him."

"Ours is a life of constant reruns. We're always circling back to where we'd we started, then starting all over again. Even if we don't run extra laps that day, we surely will come back for more of the same another day soon."

"When running to fill a time quota, however, the reverse happens. You can't make that time pass any faster by rushing, so you settle into a pace that feels right to you at the moment. Each minute above a quota is a little victory."

"That time is important. It gives a comforting illusion of permanence not found in running by the mile."

"The natural urge when running a distance is to push harder and finish sooner - to race against time. Every second behind a deadline is a little defeat."

"They trained mostly by time periods, checking their pace for known distance only on special occasions."

"Yet the home courses are where you spend dozens to hundreds of hours a year. You must choose them well."

"These thieves defend themselves by saying, 'I was there all the time, and the officials missed me.' Favorite excuses for missing surveillance checkpoints: jacket covered the number took off the shirt with the number hidden in a crowd."

"The hours, minutes and seconds stand as visible reminders that your effort put them all there. Preserve until your next run, when the watch lets you see how Impermanent your efforts are."
