Saw this in a Pearl Izumi ad in Runners World and thought it was pretty cool:
IF YOU RAN WITHOUT SACRIFICE, CONGRATULATIONS. YOU JUST JOGGED. Running hurts. It always has. Woolly mammoths didn’t just roll over onto a plate and serve themselves up to prehistoric man with fries and a shake. They had to be caught - and running down woolly mammoths was a bitch. Guess what? Running is still a bitch. But one with a purpose. It teaches us that good things do not come easy. It teaches us that hard work will be rewarded and laziness will be punished. Don’t expect to learn those life lessons from running’s shiftless stepchild; jogging. Next time you suffer on the roads or trails, suffer proudly. It means you run like an animal.

Wow! Great quote! Lazy grrl I am, I needed to hear that about now!
Pearl Izumi had great ads. I have a PI bumper sticker that says "Run like an animal, don't drive like one" and my desktop background says "No one has ever heard of a 'Jogger's High'"
Kudos to their marketing department!
