People are so easily impressed by running, but I run pretty frequently.

My strength was that I am more balanced and calmer than most other riders.

My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.

I want to run with the best, that's how I've always lived.

When I'm competing, I need to be strong.

Running gave me a focus to start looking after myself, to eat properly, and focus on building up my strength.

It's really amazing when you discover how strong you actually are and what you really can accomplish.

My biggest strength is I'm courageous, or if I am afraid of something, I do it anyway. I do what I feel. It's nothing personal against anyone, so that courageousness has been very good to me.

In 'Growing Stronger,' I expose my most painful moments and open my heart, thoughts and person, so that my experiences can inspire alleviation, consolation and decisiveness.

There's nothing more powerful than to consider why you're running, no matter what pain you're going through during the race, if you know why you're running, then it'll be more satisfying at the end.
