I have my own unique road that has had many exciting ups and heart-breaking downs, but one thing I know is that my journey is not over and the best is yet to come.

But it is nice to know that you have other races lined up, because sometimes you can get so focused on your next marathon that it can become kind of unhealthy in some ways. So it's nice to have something else to slap you in the face and say, all right, there is life after the Olympics.

I race kind of sparingly.

I don't know how you keep the world record holder off your team.

It takes faith and the courage to risk failure in order to realize one's destiny. Having had my share of failures throughout my career I know that it is well worth the risk.

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

I'd want to have the power of mind control. If I had that one skill you'd always see at the bank loading up bags full of cash.
