Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

I had worked so hard; that was my opportunity. And my mom was just able to turn it around for me. She helped me to be able to see the other side of things and that this is not the end for me.

My faith is the reason I run - it calms my heart and makes everything feel like a lift. My speed is definitely a gift from Him, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, He allows me to do it.

I think it's very important, even if you're not in organized sports, but just to be active, to be healthy.
