I'd Rather Run A Gutsy Race, Pushing

I Didn't Give Myself Enough Breaks During The Training Year To Recover. I Didn't Understand The Power Of Periodization.

I Had As Many Doubts As Anyone Else. Standing On The Starting Line, We're All Cowards.

If You Want To Achieve A High Goal, You're Going To Have To Take Some Chances.

Winning Times In The New York City Marathon Have Not Dropped All That Much Over The Years, But Rather U.s. Runners Went Backward. In 1983, There Were 267 U.s. Men Who Broke 2:20 In A Marathon, And By 2000 That Number Was Down To 27.

I Like The Marathon Because It's One Race Where You Can Find Out Who's Really The Toughest. On The Track, Sometimes A Guy Can Just Pull Away, And You Want To Stay With Him But You Don't Have The Leg Speed. The Marathon Is Slow Enough That Anyone Can Stay With You If He Wants, If He Has The Will. The Marathon Is Ultimately A Test Of Will.
