Joe Henderson Quotes Page 2 of 2Joe Henderson June 3, 1943 - Nationality: American Category: Athlete Subcategory: American Athlete
| 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. | Our favorite: a former garbage dump converted into a riverside park. I first ran there more than 30 years ago when a marathon passed through this park that later became home to Pre's Trail. | 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. | 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. |
