almost banquet definitely felt running
I felt horrible. I didn't even make it to the banquet after. I almost always go to the banquet. It was definitely running me down.
running couple ice
On the ice, if I slow down, I can coast behind somebody for a couple of laps. If I slow down on the run, it'll turn into a walk.
running thinking ideas
A lot of times, some of my best ideas happen when I'm running. That's when I do my best thinking.
running littles speed
Generally, speed skaters don't run that much. I'm a little bit of an exception in that I run a lot.
running kind muscles
I tend to build bulk and muscle easily, and running seems to make sure I stay kind of stringy, if that makes sense.
countless great heard last miles millions people running six supporting york
I don't have great running technique, but I like to run. I've heard from countless people that the last six miles of the marathon is all mental. But what better city to have this in than New York City where there are millions of people there supporting you?
everybody extra flight life run start staying walk wants whether work
It's about having an active lifestyle, staying healthy, and making the right decisions. Life is about balance. Not everybody wants to run a marathon, but we could all start working out and being active, whether you walk to work or take an extra flight of stairs.
anybody crazy entirely five given guy race run wins
One guy wins and one guy loses, but it's not entirely up to him. Our sport is so crazy that on any given Sunday, anybody can win. You can run the same race over and over five times, and you'll probably get five different winners. It's wild.
focus time
Competitions, our preparation, our time and our focus are much different than most people.
asian best bothered built certain directed energy grew growing korean later negative pedestal people realized resulting stand using
I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment.
definitely
I think I'm better all around as a skater. Physically, I think I'm definitely stronger. I'm lighter, I'm leaner, I know a lot more about my body.
line
I thought I got (Li) at the line anyway.
finish four olympics
To finish the Olympics like this with these four guys, there is nothing like it.
almost far forward lost speed
I got too far forward with my skates. I lost a lot of speed and almost went down.
