I made my first Australian senior team when I was 16, first Olympics when I was 19, and I retired. I'm 32, I retired four years ago, so a good third of my life or nearly a third of my life has been all about running.

This occasion is personally very meaningful and I hope to visit Korea again if I have the chance.

I'm drinking lots of herbal tea.

I do not have any official responsibilities related to the Australian Olympic Committee or the Federation of Athletic Associations since I am too busy with my private business.

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

I was always surrounded by expectation from the very first race I ran as a 5-year-old.

I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.
