I have a map of the united states .... it's original size ... it says one mile equals one mile.
I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, 'Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.' I spent last summer folding it. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, 'E6.
I’ll never forget the first time I ran with a group of Kenyan women in 2004... The first mile was way slower than my typical run to the point where I was looking around thinking, “Are they for real? These are the fastest women in the world?” But by mile 5 we were buzzing along, mile six I was hitting the gas, and mile seven I was hanging on for dear life.
One thing I thought of, I call it By Sea, By Land, By Foot. It'd be a 100-mile paddle, a 100-mile run, and a 100-mile bike, back-to-back-to-back. But I don't want to end up in the hospital.
The short English miles are delightful for walking. You are always pleased to find, every now and then, in how short a time you have walked a mile, though, no doubt, a mile is everywhere a mile, I walk but a moderate pace, and can accomplish four English miles in an hour.
Smile As you find a rhythm Working you, slow mile by mile, Into your proper haunt.
Every time you walk a mile to church and carry a Bible with you, you preach a sermon a mile long.
Their sighing, canting, grace-proud faces, their three-mile prayers, and half-mile graces.
Detroit, the heart of the country... I grew up on 10 Mile, 2 miles better than 8 Mile.
Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.
The adage is true: Walk a mile in my shoes - or drive a mile in my car. There is nothing quite like sitting in the seat yourself.
It is crucial in a sound investment process to search a mile wide than a mile deep with they find something - also.. never stop digging for information.
So much of what we said sounded crazy, yet none of it was false... as if two theoretical physicists stood on stage to say that when we travel near lightspeed, we get younger than nontravellers; that a mile of space next to the sun is differnt than a mile of space next to the earth because the sun-mile space is curved more than the the earth-mile. Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
My fastest time in high school was a 4:29 mile. I think cross-country has something to do with my longevity in my business. When you're in an eight-mile race, you never give up.
You can never walk a mile in someone elses shoes, but you can walk a mile in your own and be proud of it.
I've done a few marathons. I've done a 50-mile one and even a 100-mile one.
You can fit two United States and maybe a third one into the entire continent of Africa, but on a map we make the entire continent of Africa look like the size of the United States, which is why a lot of people don't know that Africa is a continent. They think it's a country because it looks as big as we do.
