I Know That I Wasn't Bred To

I Am A Big Believer In Visualization. I Run Through My Races Mentally So That I Feel Even More Prepared.

I Never Let Track Define Me. That's Something That's Really Important To Me. That's What I Do And It's What I Love, But I Think By Having Other Things I'm Passionate About And Interested In, It Helped Me To Come Back. It Helped Me To Have Renewed Love For The Sport By Being Able To Step Away And Then Come Back.

I'm Always Nervous. If I Wasn't Nervous, It Would Be Weird. I Get The Same Feeling At All The Big Races. It's Part Of The Routine, And I Accept It. It Means I'm There And I'm Ready.

The Biggest Way I Stay Motivated Is To Run With A Group Of Friends. Sometimes It's Hard To Get Going By Yourself, But If You Have A Plan And A Meeting Time, You Know This Run Will Happen For Sure. It's A Way To Have Fun - While Also Getting In A Workout. Plus It Distracts From Pain, Helps You Fight Fatigue, And Gives You That Extra Push.

My Faith Is The Reason I Run - It Calms My Heart And Makes Everything Feel Like A Lift. My Speed Is Definitely A Gift From Him, And I Run For His Glory. Whatever I Do, He Allows Me To Do It.
