Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.

My school was six miles away from where I lived on the farm. I had to walk and run, there and back every day, through gorges and over rivers. If I was late, there was a very big stick waiting for me.

When I wake up at 5 in the morning is it just to jog? Definitely not, I give it all of my efforts.

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner.

I wanted to experience New York, to look up and see buildings.
