I'm Drinking Lots Of Herbal Tea.

I Want To Be A Positive Role Model, Especially For Kids And Aboriginal People... When People See Me, Often All They See Is Another Australian Athlete Having A Go. It Isn't Until They See The Full Cathy Freeman Picture That They Realise How Proud I Am Of My Ancestry And Heritage. I'd Like A Little More Tolerance And Acceptance Of My Culture And All The Differing Cultures That Make Up Australia.

I Made My First Australian Senior Team When I Was 16, First Olympics When I Was 19, And I Retired. I'm 32, I Retired Four Years Ago, So A Good Third Of My Life Or Nearly A Third Of My Life Has Been All About Running.

When I Was 18 Years Old, About To Develop My Sportsman Career, The Asthma Complaints Became Already Some Years Before.

When I'm In A Bad Mood, I Don't Listen.

I Feel Like I've Reached An Age Where I Can Relax A Little Bit With The Knowledge Of What I've Been Through, Take All That Experience And Use It. I Love The Challenge Of Trying To Get Back To Where I've Been, And Beyond It.
