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

I don't just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting.

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

You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

I run to see who has the most guts.

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