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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
