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

A half marathon is a good way to have a bit of fun and race against those girls and learn a bit more about them.The world half marathon is a world championship at the end of the day and it's important. I've win it twice and it's a quality event.

I think your body is just a little bit stronger after pregnancy.

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.

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.

There's always going to be somebody who takes a dislike to you and you can't waste time worrying about it.
