Body Quote by Grete Waitz

“I work out for my head as much as I do for my body. I'm a thinker. A lot of my ideas come to me more easily when I am running. That is why I like to run in the morning, when there are no distractions ... Now some of my best ideas are born on the run.” quote by Grete Waitz — Download Open image
