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.

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

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

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.

My feelings tried to control me on my run. I had to concentrate fully on forthcoming running and success. I wanted to triumph.

I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.
