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

The thing I do best is laugh.

The last sort of really low-key race I ran, I realized with about a hundred metres to go, that my heart just wasn't in it. I wasn't trying my hardest, I didn't care to compete against the girls I was up against. That spoke a lot about where my heart was taking me-which was off the track.

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

I've had my fair share of being dismissed. But I'm only about to turn 30. And when I finish running, I'm going to be a dangerous woman.

With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.
