You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

I am not going to let Athens affect the rest of my life.

I have always loved running on the roads, ever since I used to take part in relays for my club when I was 12 and 13. I felt really at home on the surface.

I used to say that the newspapers were tomorrow's fish and chip paper, but I didn't really mean it; I could still be hurt by what they said. After Athens, I just didn't care.

I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon.

No one remembers who came fourth.

I actually got a nice surprise about being a mother because I expected it to be harder and to have to make more adaptations.
