Schooling Is So Important.

You Must Do As Your People Do. If My People Are Poor, I Must Be Poor. People Ask Me, 'why Don't You Find A Personal Coach Or A Private Car?' I Can't. Then I Won't Be Part Of My People.

I Used To Run To School, 10k Every Day. And This At Altitude, Perfect Preparation, Really.

I Have To Change A Lot Of Things Before I Become A Good Marathon Runner.

I'm Lucky. The Best Possible Place In The World For Training Is Addis Ababa, So I Am Home All The Time Except When I Am Racing. I Like To Be There, Near My Family, My Kids, Also The Real Estate Business I Run With My Wife.

Like Some High Official, You Have To Tell Your Brain: 'do It. Come On. I Have To Do It.'
