As you get older, there are going to be a few more challenges, but thankfully I'm still feeling good.
Allyson FelixMy 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.
Allyson FelixI try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.
Allyson FelixWhen I was younger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee was a mentor to me and gave me great advice. The best was to 'work 100 percent, but enjoy every moment along the way.' Sometimes you get so in the zone, you forget to enjoy your passions. I love runningโbut I also love the movies, relaxing on the beach, shopping and spending time with my friends. Enjoying my life helps me enjoy my running.
