I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.

I have time to breathe, time to be myself more often, I am a lot more relaxed and less guarded.

I quite clearly have made the right decision in my heart, retirement was the way.

I took only twice a time-out, once, when I was hurt, and a second time, when I much felt I was exhausted out of personal reasons.

For athletes traditionally it's such a fantastic stepping stone to greater things down the track and in the future. Don't undermine the Commonwealth Games!

I'm doing something now where I'm going to have to learn so much and that takes time nurturing, those kinds of relationships.

I definitely do things on my terms, it may not seem that way but I actually do.
