Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.

I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me.

The triumph can't be had without the struggle. And I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.

I knew that whatever I set my mind to do. I could do.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.

No matter what great things you accomplish, somebody helps you.

Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life.
