“The Boston Marathon is internationally recognized and has a great tradition, and I know there will be high expectations for me. I always run to win. It's the motto that I live by.”
“I just hope to be relaxed until mile 20 and then push it for the last six miles. If somebody has trained harder and smarter than I have, let him prevail.”
“The crowd was screaming, 'Go USA. Go USA. The crowd was phenomenal. It forced us to go hard. I think we performed the way we should. That's the results.”
“I know I ran well today, but it wasn't my best. The pressure was on. The first time (at Boston) is a challenge and you get a feeling for it, but I'm excited about next time.”
