training benefits enough
You benefit from getting in enough volume at the beginning of your training.
healthy way west
You seek help from the elders. A society with elders is healthy. It's not always that way in the West.
mother sleep blessing
Obviously, I'm suffering from lack of sleep, but it truly is a blessing to be a mother.
parent saws matter
No matter how painful something is, you have to take it. I saw that in both my parents.
boys tough
When you are no longer a boy, you have to be tough.
running crazy athlete
The key to getting the record is running fast because someone else did not take it too crazy at the beginning, so it leaves me with a lot of energy to close.
against beat best felt nice run running teammates wearing win
When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.
environment favors garden history run
I feel like I'm a part of history when I run the Wanamaker Mile. The environment in the Garden really favors runners, especially in the mile.
challenge man respect seen
Personally, I respect him. He is a world-class athlete. The man is a 10,000-meter runner, but he's going to challenge us. He can do anything. We've seen his speed.
believe competition easy kept last pushing run shape until wife year
I believe I would have been in better shape than last year if my wife didn't have difficulties. It's not easy when it's your first competition and you're going to run 1:53 for the first 800. I kept on pushing until the end.
fresh guys ready run
I'm ready to come back fresh and run with my guys again.
