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?'
If anybody wants to beat me, let them run a world record.
Nobody likes tainted victories.
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'm the one who has made all the sacrifices. Those are my American records, not the country's.
You probably choose x-country because you were too small to play football.
