If the Olympics come around, and I'm in shape, then I'll compete. But I won't be representing the United States; I'll be representing myself.
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.
