ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHONOctober 31, 2013Sara HallSally KipyegoNEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK Q. How's it going? SARA HALL: Good. Just getting in shape, both of us, I think. Just starting out. Q. How is your body feeling now? SALLY KIPYEGO: Much better. Much better, yes. Q. Ready to go? SALLY KIPYEGO: Yes. Q. Already gearing towards 2014? SALLY KIPYEGO: Yes. It's the first race of the season, so I just want to get a mark and see where I am. Q. Well, you're well rested. Are you fit? SALLY KIPYEGO: Yes. Q. What are you both predicting for your performances? SALLY KIPYEGO: Just a competitive performance. SARA HALL: I think it's too early to know. I don't think any of us have done 5K workouts yet. We look to our trainer to dictate that. Q. Have you run through Central Park? SARA HALL: We both ran the race two years ago. Q. What were your impressions? SARA HALL: It was uphill a lot of it. This last part is obviously challenging, but I thought it was fun. SALLY KIPYEGO:  Yes. Q. Do people tend to go off a little bit too quick? SALLY KIPYEGO: No, I don't think it was too quick. SARA HALL: No. I think no one's in shape enough really to run crazy. SALLY KIPYEGO: It's not London. Q. Is it because it's not back into the track season or anything like that? You both had a break? SALLY KIPYEGO: Well, I didn't have a season. So I'm going to start. SARA HALL: I think this is most people's first race. Q. Who would you pick if it wasn't yourselves? SARA HALL: What do you mean? For the win? Q. Who else? SALLY KIPYEGO: They put together a lot of competitors. SARA HALL: We have really good girls. We have the American record holder here. Q. Can it go sub15 here? SARA HALL: I don't think. Q.  So like a 15:10, 15:20, something like that? SARA HALL: That would be pretty fast for this course. Q. Do you have races planned for next year, Steeples? SARA HALL: I want to do indoor, but I'm looking to do my first competitive half marathon in December, so I'm looking at that. I might do like a fall marathon depending on how the half goes. So we'll see. I know it's an off year from track. So it could be a good time to train for a marathon. Q. You ran some great mile races in New York. Those were some classic races. SARA HALL: I miss the Garden. Q. We all do. SARA HALL: Is the U.S. Open there again? Q. That was a one‑time shot. That was two years ago. So there's nothing in the Garden anymore. SARA HALL: I love that place. The Armory is great, but it's different. Q. I bet you're glad to be coming back and racing again. SALLY KIPYEGO: Yes. It's very exciting to be back. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
