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.

The starting line of the New York Marathon is kind of like a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.

I might have to do the London Marathon. I like crowds, so that is why I like the big marathons.

I'm quite excited to think that I will run the Olympic race here next year.

The marathon can humble you.

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

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 didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.

A couple of years ago I ran in the LA Marathon.
