Some people will say, and have said, that I'm trying to run from country, but I'm never going to make anything other than a country record.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.
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.
I'm a runner from sports. I've been a runner, but I wasn't a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.
I can have my goals, and I can have my dreams. My goal is to make the finals and improve my position. I want to run all decent races. I don't want to look back and say I ran a terrible race.
When I run - you can see my record - I run to win.
It doesn't matter where you come from. Running is a universal sport and universal language.
When I was a kid, I was a pretty good runner, and there was nothing like winning a race.
When you take the world record, a lot of people are going to go out there to get you, really. I kind of enjoy that. I like being chased.
The world record will come to me when I run the world record race. I'm just trying to perfect my race. I'm looking for perfection.
I knew I didn't want to make a country record just because that's not really what I would have ever made as a solo artist.
