I Can Swim I'm Not Bad, But

I've Had A Lot Of Success Over The Years Racing In New York, But The Main Point Is That I Feel The Marathon Is A Different Event, A Lot More My Event.

It's Good To Be Back, Feeling Like Myself And Enjoying It.

I Am Not Driven By Any Bitterness By What Happened In Athens. I Learnt A Lot Of Lessons From It And Probably Came Through It A Stronger Person In The End. There Have Been A Lot Of Near Misses, And That's Taught Me To Keep Persevering And That There Is A Chance It Can Come Right.

The Cheats Always Have A Way Of Justifying Their Behaviour - Everyone Else Is Getting Away With It, So Why Shouldn't I? But Because They're So Reliant On The Drugs - And The Drugs Are Not Always Perfect, You're Not Guaranteed To Peak At A Big Event - They Don't Have The Confidence To Look In The Mirror And Know That They Can Go Out And Give Their Best. If You're Clean And You've Prepared Well For A Race, That's Where You Have An Edge.

I Just Want To Be In The Best Shape I Can Be. Not To Stand On That Start Line And Say: 'oh My God, I Have This Injury And That Injury.' I Just Want To Be Able To Go Out And Race.
