What Is Important Is To

My School Was Six Miles Away From Where I Lived On The Farm. I Had To Walk And Run, There And Back Every Day, Through Gorges And Over Rivers. If I Was Late, There Was A Very Big Stick Waiting For Me.

I Wanted To Be Famous. I Wanted People To Talk About Me.

In My Life I Do A Lot Of Things But I Never Forget My Training.

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

You Know, I Want To Help My Country. Definitely I Can Help Them, Simply By Winning Races. Sure, They Can Follow My Path To A Good Career. But For Me It Is Not Enough. I Want To Be More Than That. In Everything I Want To Be A Role Model.
