The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.

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.

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

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me. That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back. It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.

I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.

I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.
