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.

More Meb Keflezighi on Wikipedia.My No. 1 goal is to be No. 1 in my first Boston Marathon, and I always run to win.
A lot of people compare Athens and Boston. Athens was very smooth for me. It's a challenging course and I like challenges.
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.
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.
He gave me his cell phone number and told me to call if I needed anything.
It's exciting to see a lot of American guys run well.
He said, 'You've just got to be smart. Be patient. 'And when you make a move, make it count.
The whole point is to be the best runner in the world.
