I Think If You Come

I'm Lucky. The Best Possible Place In The World For Training Is Addis Ababa, So I Am Home All The Time Except When I Am Racing. I Like To Be There, Near My Family, My Kids, Also The Real Estate Business I Run With My Wife.

If I Don't Train Enough, Of Course I'm Nervous.

I'm Retiring From Competitive Running, Not From Running. You Cannot Stop Running, This Is My Life.

I Want To Go Down In History.

First, Do Enough Training. Then Believe In Yourself And Say: I Can Do It. Tomorrow Is My Day. And Then Say: The Person In Front Of Me, He Is Just A Human Being As Well; He Has Two Legs, I Have Two Legs, That Is All. That Is Mentally How You Prepare.
