Seeing results is inspiring Picture Quote #1

My goal has always been to introduce other people to running. They might accomplish something they never thought they could Picture Quote #1

To suddenly be a hero on a world basis was hard for me to understand. God gave me a gift. I got the chance to use it. I didn’t think I deserved what people were saying. My talent is just more visible than theirs Picture Quote #1
