Some questions asked to Michael with the relative answers:
“What is running for you today?”
- “Time to run three miles. It frees my mind, relaxes me, I like it. I do it for this, to feel good about myself. It is not just a physical question.”
“But how much does the 200 run?”
- “The truth? I have no idea. In fact, I know one thing: I go slowly, very slowly. Without a doubt, slower than before and every day I go slower, that’s it, I feel I can guarantee the data on this: I’m slow.”
“Today half the world runs, over all kinds of distances. What’s going on?”
- “People have discovered how important it is to go out and get started.”
