It's not what other people believe you can do, it's what you believe.

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

You have to find that love within yourself. If you love yourself, you feel good about yourself, and sports help you feel good about yourself.

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

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.

It's totally different now, traveling to different meets and different cities and actually being able to enjoy the cities I'm in.

I dont have a thyroid anymore. I had radioactive iodine treatment, which destroyed my thyroid. I take medication every day.
