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.

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.

When 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 running—but I also love the movies, relaxing on the beach, shopping and spending time with my friends. Enjoying my life helps me enjoy my running.

I 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.

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.

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

Try to think of working out and healthy eating as a lifestyle. Rather than go on a diet or try a crazy exercise routine, try making them something you do every day.
