My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.

As you get older, there are going to be a few more challenges, but thankfully I'm still feeling good.

My dad's a pastor and a seminary professor, my mom, she has such great faith.

Right now I'd say my favorite fashion designer is Zac Posen.

It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God. It was probably towards the end of high school in my senior year when things really started to come together and I realized that I had more potential and that I could do this as a career and that the Olympics were a possibility.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.

My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
