You have good days and bad days.

Track and field was very big when I was growing up.

But anybody who steps into the lane beside you is the biggest competition because they made it to the finals.

The hard part for me is rest. I am a person who stays up late. If I go to bed early, I don't sleep, but I know I have to rest. That is always a struggle for me.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

I have to show who I am, play with the crowd, play with the camera. When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation, "What is he going to do?"

When people contact me on Instagram or Facebook, kids and adults, who say, "You're an inspiration. You make me want to work hard to achieve my goals." If I can still do that after I retire that makes me feel good.
