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.

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.

You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.

You said I was weak. You said I couldn't do it. Thank you. You gave me everything I needed to prove you wrong.

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

PRE. For your dedication and loyalty to your principles and beliefs. For your love,warmth and friendship. For your family and friends. You are missed by so many and you will never be forgotten.

Running gives me confidence.
