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

I race kind of sparingly.

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

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.

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

I want to run every race with a big heart.

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