It's kind of nice in some ways having an Olympic Trials where I finished second. You can kind of go in more under the radar facing a 2:03 guy and facing a lot of dudes who are faster than I am, whereas, before Beijing, I had one of the top 10 times in the field, or something like that.

I couldn't be more excited to return to the ING New York City Marathon.

I was a runner who happened to be a Christian. I needed to become a Christian who happened to be a runner.

It took years, honestly, to deal with the disappointment of Beijing.

I want to run every race with a big heart.

I don't go to the start line expecting to win. I go to the start believing this could be the day when incredible things happen

I think sometimes you can study guys and build them into giants that they are not.
