I Love Running And I Will Always

I Wanted To Be Famous. I Wanted People To Talk About Me.

You Know, I Want To Help My Country. Definitely I Can Help Them, Simply By Winning Races. Sure, They Can Follow My Path To A Good Career. But For Me It Is Not Enough. I Want To Be More Than That. In Everything I Want To Be A Role Model.

I Was The Kind Of Child Who Worked Hard Every Day With The Cows And Sheep - I Was A Very Aggressive Boy.

I Will Always Listen To My Coaches. But First I Listen To My Body. If What They Tell Me Suits My Body, Great. If My Body Doesn't Feel Good With What They Say, Then Always My Body Comes First.

When I Run In Ethiopia, I Look Out And See Eucalyptus Trees And Rivers.
