Don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.

I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.

What kind of crazy nut would spend two or three hours a day just running?

A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they're capable of understanding.

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.

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?'
