What I like most about track is the feeling I get after a good run.

No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me.

If he's having a good day and running the right race, nobody can beat Frank Shorter at 10,000 meters... nobody except me.

Having a true faith is the most difficult thing in the world. Many will try to take it from you.

Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it.

Every once in a while I think, 'What am I doing out here running, busting myself up? Life could be so much easier. The other guys are out having fun, doing other things, why not me?'

Something inside of me just said 'Hey, wait a minute, I want to beat him,' and I just took off.
