Nobody wants to hear how I think I've been mistreated, or how I think my punishment should be lifted, or tweaked, or reduced. Nobody wants to hear me say that, nobody cares what I think about this. I get it.

The ban is completely out of my hands. And I think in most people's minds, even if it's unrealistic to them, it's one that I left myself with no choice on.

Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.

I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters.

Pain is only temporary. Quitting is forever!

We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell.

There's no rule, no law, no regulation that says you can't come back. So I have every right to come back.
