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

I love running and I will always run.

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

The marathon always starts after 30K. That's where the problems start. You start without any problems, without any pain. All the pain comes after 30K. Sometimes, it's possible to have pain even in the finger.

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

When I run in Ethiopia, I look out and see eucalyptus trees and rivers.

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.
