- He was a track star in college
- He became a cardiologist like his father
- He served as a doctor on the destroyer USS Daly during WWII
- He served as the medical editor for Runner's World magazine for many
years
- His book, "Running & Being: The Total Experience," was a New York
Times best seller
- He continued to run until his legs could no longer carry him...
Some of his famous quotes about running:
- Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the
alternative is worse
- Fitness has to be fun. If it is not play, there will be no fitness.
Play, you see, is the process. Fitness is merely the product
- Everyone is an athlete. The only difference is that some of us are in
training, and some are not
- No matter how old I get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding
experiences. My times become slower and slower, but the experience of
the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each
race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more
about myself and others
There is a race in honor of him at Red Bank, NJ each year called "George
Sheehan Classic" http://www.sheehanclassic.org/ |
