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

I just want to be in the best shape I can be. Not to stand on that start line and say: 'Oh my God, I have this injury and that injury.' I just want to be able to go out and race.

Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot - it's good for you!

In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.

I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.

I try not to worry about things that I can't control.
