I can’t change everything by myself but I can be one of the people who are trying to change the situation Picture Quote #1

At the moment I am a little bit politician, yes. I think that could be my next step. It is not because I want power, it is because of what I think I could do for the people Picture Quote #1

I haven’t done a marathon for a long time. So we’ll see. I will need good luck Picture Quote #1

If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it’s hard Picture Quote #1

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don’t need a time just to win the race Picture Quote #1

My father didn’t think running was sensible. He told me running is just wasting time Picture Quote #1

What can you do if a part of it is uphill? You can't work out another route. You've just got to run the one they give you. But they tell me London is a nice course. Even the cobbles, I hope, are not very much of a problem for me Picture Quote #1

I remember in particular my first victory when I achieved a very fast time in what were perfect conditions but since then the wind has always been a factor against me Picture Quote #1

Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country. For me sometimes it is difficult even to know who the athletes are who are competing at the highest level. There are thousands Picture Quote #1

This hand is not very active always, because it was in this hand that I carried my books. My carrying hand was always my strongest. Now I think my other hand has developed more muscles from signing all those autographs Picture Quote #1
