I thought, hey neat, I'll show a little clip from Arnold's the running man, because, it's a cool 1980's movie, and I run and all.
Well this clip has one line from the running man, and it's like 8 minutes into the clip, but I like the clip so you now get it. Let me know which is your favorite Bad@ss quote. I of course liked the Rowdy Roddy Piper Qoute.
"I'm hear to run 100 miles and to chew bubble gum. I am all out of bubble gum!"
Enjoy the next 9:26 or your life!

Quotable
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"

Alec Baldwin's "motivational" sales training in Glengarry Glen Ross...I try to model my teaching after this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TROhlThs9qY
"Nice guy? I don't give a *&%$. Good father? #$%@ you, go home and play with your kids."

Of course if we're sticking to the theme of running there's always the "dentist" scene from Marathon Man - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPQ7KMCrPLE&feature=related
"Is it safe?"
"He knows nothing."
Oh, that was good! That was real good.
...and I think you got to go with, "Do you feel lucky, Punk? Well, do you?"
