Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete; the other side just comes with the package.

I can swim I'm not bad, but not great.

I don't like going away from my children.

I prefer just a women's race. It's a totally different game mentally.

Today was not about times, it was about getting in there, enjoying the race, and enjoying the atmosphere

The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.

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.
