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

The fact that "Léon: The Professional" doesn't have every award in the world is a sign that it is underrated. I'm not even ashamed to say that I cried during every scene.

I try to avoid the temptation with time as a total indicator for what my possibilities are for the marathon. It's the not the best indicator, but it's more how you feel, how you cover the distance and how you are able to do the training afterward.

I've always said that racing in New York is performing on the big stage.

I'm constantly searching for the truth amidst a sea of confusion and uncertainty.

I constantly remind myself that resting takes confidence. Anyone can train like a mad man but to embrace rest and to allow all the hard training to come out takes mental strength.

For most of the track world, the Olympic year is such a huge year, and it's a big year for us marathoners too.
