Marathon runners set explicit goals.

Running a marathon is something I've always wanted to do.

I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon.

What I think a lot of great marathon runners do is envision crossing that finish line. Visualization is critical. But for me, I set a lot of little goals along the way to get my mind off that overwhelming goal of 26.2 miles. I know I've got to get to 5, and 12, and 16, and then I celebrate those little victories along the way.

I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner.

Health is your greatest wealth, so experiencing a marathon and seeing what you're capable of is really special.

My goal is to break three hours in a marathon.

I haven't done a marathon for a long time. So we'll see. I will need good luck.

Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.

I thought about running a marathon a long time ago, but I'm just not a runner.
