Bart Yasso

“Every mile is a story. Every race is a chapter in your life.”

“Every runner knows that running is about so much more than just putting one foot in front of the other.”

“I don't run away from my problems. I run toward my solutions.”

“Every morning I wake up and make my choice to be happy. Running helps me do that.”

“I've learned that the marathon is really 20 miles of running your best, and 10 kilometers of running on guts alone.”

“When you hit the wall, that's when you find out who you really are.”

“The wall is a real place. You hit it, and it's devastating. But you can break through it.”

“I learned that the only way to deal with the wall is to embrace it, not fight it.”

“A marathon is not just about running 26.2 miles. It's about discovering who you are at mile 20.”

“I run because it makes me feel alive. It makes me feel like I'm part of something bigger than myself.”

“I've learned that finishing a marathon isn't just physical—it's a state of mind you must prepare for.”

“The wall is a physical and mental barrier that every marathoner must face. But it's also where champions are made.”
