News people were holding me up as a symbol of defiance to the boycott and I couldn't even run.

If you look at your life and compare your life to that of an evil person, you will find that in most regards both lives are the same. You don't live a longer life or live forever by being virtuous.

I should be doing that too. I should be out there running and racing. I should be taking care of my body.

My key to victory was that I always went out way too fast. Too fast erases every other race strategy out there. Everyone is hanging on for dear life or they give up.

If you KNOW dehydration is a problem in long runs it becomes a problem in long runs.

Wanting to win races is detrimental to courage. You tend to run too conservatively because you want to wait and sprint. If you are there to force the pace, to CREATE greatness rather than to have greatness, Courageous moves are a part of your race.

Humans are a TOUGH animal! We can do anything.
