'In my first boxing career, I never ran more than three miles at a time during training. I didn't need much stamina - I always knocked opponents out in the early rounds. But I knew it would be a different story the second time around. My wife would drive me eight or ten miles, then drop me off so I could run home. I found out what athletes meant when they described getting their 'second wind.' I realized I had more willpower than I thought. Once I got past the initial pain, I felt I could run forever. That's how a lot of things are in life. You might be in a situation that's uncomfortable or even painful at first, but once you push past the pain, you find your second wind - and then nothing can stop you!'
- George Foreman
