But I also realize that winning doesn't always mean getting first place; it means getting the best out of yourself.

I run in Central Park, I love that place. That's the beauty of running, I had my jacket, my tight and my gloves - my gloves never leave my backpack. Just in case.

Like the marathon, life can sometimes be difficult, challenging and present obstacles, however if you believe in your dreams and never ever give up, things will turn out for the best.

Most of us have enough areas in our lives where we have to meet others' expectations. Let your running be about your own hopes and dreams.

The beauty of my sport is that you can do it from anywhere.

I think [my kids] are runners. They definitely have the background. I try to help them as much as I can.

Nobody said it's going to be easy. You have to dig into yourself. Think about your family. Think about the journey itself. THINK IN THE MOMENT.
