When you have good runners, you always run fast. That's the motivation for me. But I have room to improve in my technique and in the start.

I always want to be the best and if I can't, I don't want to run.

These days, I am the most boring, methodical runner. I always do the same three- to five-mile loop near my home every evening. I hardly ever miss a day. On the weekends, I might go longer or add in weights.

People are so easily impressed by running, but I run pretty frequently.

I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.

Once we get into the groove, we're kind of like long-distance runners - that adrenalin kicks in for me and I just keep running - and I don't stop!

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.

I have been running since I was 7. I was trying to restructure the way my body was made instead of trying to master the way I ran. I would get so frustrated with my starts in practices that I would just cry. When I ran, I wouldn't even try to get out of the blocks, I would just run.
