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

I have always run as hard as I can. You are not going to run any harder with or without men. You are running on your own two feet.

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

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

I have not had the chance to go out there and do myself justice in an Olympic marathon yet. I have not been able to get to an Olympic marathon injury-free yet.

You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you're in on the day of the race. I've always felt these really big races aren't necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. They're won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the day.

Plenty of people who are 38 have run really well in the marathon.
