I want to see where I measure up against everyone in the world and everyone who has ever competed in the sport, and there's that innate sense of wanting to challenge myself. I'm competitive in all aspects.

Competition is pretty much the essence of everything, it gives humans drive.

If you have done something once, you can do it again or you can do it better. The beauty is the pursuit of the limit, not the limit itself. At least that's what I hope people realize.

To do the best that I possibly could in my world makes me pretty happy.

I wouldn't say there was a moment of realization when I wanted to be a runner; it was always just something I was.

I always liked running as a kid. You know how eating chocolate or ice cream makes you feel good? That's the same way that running and competing makes me feel.
