I take pride in everything I do. I don't want to be handed anything. I want to earn it.
I can feel the wind go by when I run. It feels good. It feels fast.
Before me, sprinters retired at 23 or 24. I run because I still like it, I can make a living, and I feel I was born to do it. And because people tell me I can't do it.
I was single-minded and I had tunnel vision. Now it's time for a change.
Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.
Now, I talk to athletes who answer questions with a 'yeah'. I realize I used to do that. Or they answer very quickly and you stand there trying to come up with another question to ask. I've seen both sides and it's been very educational.
