I thought it was Red Bull that "kept us going"...

A reader has suggested that this quote was actually made by Jim Ryun. I did a quick search and in fact this quote was attributed to him.
Ryun a former US Congressman, was prior to his life in Washington, Jim was a runner and owned and operated Jim Ryun Sports, a company that ran sports camps, and worked as a motivational speaker at meetings of corporations and Christian groups around the country. He also co-authored three motivational books with his two sons.
Sorry for faux pas Jim, and thank you to the anonymous reader who pointed it out.

I was looking on a site for motivational quotes and they hadn't credited this man for this great quote, only crediting anonymous. Upon further investigation, the readers correction proved to be correct.

Thanks!
