I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.

It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it.

I apologise to people when I need to.

Go in any direction..seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

In the marathon anything can happen.

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.
