- I came to USA as an immigrant because my parents wanted an opportunity for a better future. On this day 20 years ago I obtained my USA citizenship. For the last 2 decades it has been an honor to represent the USA and the sport of running. Thanks to those who helped w/ the journey
- Due to injury and Covid, it has been 45 days since the last time I ran. Today’s 2 mile run, might not be a 5k, 10k, half-marathon or marathon but it was a good start towards one. Just excited to run again! #RunToWin
- Today, I ran to honor the life of Ahmaud Arbery. My heart goes out to Ahmaud’s family. My youngest brother is 26, the same age Ahmaud would have turned today. This tragedy is something that creates fear in me, my family, my friends & the African-American community. #irunwithmaud
- My last bib for a competitive marathon is pinned & ready to go. @skechersGO @TMobile @NYACTrack_Field @nyrr
- My mom is not a runner, an engineer, a Dr., or a lawyer. My mother was not able 2 pursue an education. But she’s birthed & raised many college graduates, who are making positive contributions 2 our society. My mom & dad sacrificed their dreams & comfort 4 their kids.Thank U, Mama
- OMG!!! I rode the Subway by myself for the first time! I was just as nervous as I was before my first NYC Marathon. This is an even faster way of getting around NYC than running. 😀@nyctsubway @nyrr
- 6 yrs ago today... I struggled and debated dropping out when I was in 21st place at halfway. I committed to finishing & ended up in 4th. In many ways, that race made Boston 2014 possible. In running & in life, focus on the moment to accomplish current & future goals. #run2win
- For years, I competed for top finishes in races. Today, I rushed to get my run in before it got dark. The sunset was BEAUTIFUL & stunning.
- 10 years ago, I won the most significant race of my life. I still get chills watching this video 10 years later. Thank you everyone who celebrated this special victory with me in Boston last week.
00:00 - Today's result was not indicative of my training. But I had to FINISH the race for #usa #girls #neverquit #RunToWin"It's been an honor to represent the #USA and to have my girls as witnesses." -@RunMeb bit.ly/2behi7e snpy.tv/2bEnc1F
