First off, I'm not really Lasse Viren. I'm only Roy, but with more training and a chin strap..... nevermind.
I enjoy long distance running more than almost anything in life.
Running has gotten me some through tough times.
It has shown me that no matter how much everything in the life changes and/or goes to the shitter... I'll always find comfort in lacing em up, throwing on the ipod, and hitting the streets.
My goals as a runner are probably too ambitious. idgaf.
My inspiration and competitiveness comes from the example set by my teammates from the Forever Run Elite as well as the determination to prove wrong everyone who has given up on me and expects me to fail.
I will not quit until I feel that I have nothing left to prove, and in order to turn the heads of people who doubt me, I'll have to prove a hell of a lot.
