You can never give up or get down on yourself. A true champion keeps his or her chin up and always takes life one race at a time.

I find motivation within myself. I run track not from a competitive Nature, but because I'm a very goal-oriented person.

My life is a blessing every day that I get up. God saved my feet. How am I not going to use them?

My grandma passed away at 98 1/2 and I want to live to 100. I want to be able to do what I can do even at 100.

In my race, theres 10 hurdles, but in life, there is always a hurdle. There is always something you gotta get over, and its what you do, you know.

People see me now and ask if I'm still running. I may look like I am, but I'm really not. People think I still run every day but I ran for 25 years and I deserve to not do anything but walk or ride the bike with my kids.
