I think [my success] comes mainly from the passion I have for running. That's what keeps me coming back after all the hardships. I've had my injuries and my down years. People say I'm a big talent. But a lot of runners have good leg speed. The reason I keep coming back is because I have a fire in my belly.

It could all end tomorrow, so enjoy what you have and never take it for granted. And never forget to take an easy run for yourself once in a while and just remember why you love to run.
