In The Marathon Anything Can Happen.

I Have Always Run As Hard As I Can. You Are Not Going To Run Any Harder With Or Without Men. You Are Running On Your Own Two Feet.

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.

An Olympic Medal Won't Define My Whole Life, Although It Might Look Like It To Onlookers. When I Look Back, I Should Have Been Able To Get An Olympic Medal.

It's Totally Different From Last Year Because I Came In With Good Shape With No Health Worries So It Was About Going Out There And Running Well And Enjoying It.

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.
