Whenever I'm being invited to the New York City Marathon like today, I need to think twice because I know it's a very tough race. ↗

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 happen to be a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions. ↗

I look at directing as a sporting event. It's a race, a marathon. It's great when it clicks, which is why I push my crews so hard so we can excel. ↗

The Federal appropriations process is a marathon, not a sprint, and we are at the beginning of that process. ↗

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 couldn't be more excited to return to the ING New York City Marathon. ↗

I try to avoid the temptation with time as a total indicator for what my possibilities are for the marathon. It's the not the best indicator, but it's more how you feel, how you cover the distance and how you are able to do the training afterward. ↗

Long Distance training can be a positive & constructive form of selfishness. After all, once you're at the starting line, you're there by yourself. No one can run a single step for you. No one can jump in & help you. No one but you can make the decisions about what to do to keep going. It's all up to you. ↗

In a country where only men are encouraged, one must be one's own inspiration. ↗
