I don't want to be throwing the football on the front yard when I'm 75. I mean, I'm not opposed to men doing that. But I don't think it's gonna work for me.

I don't want to coach too far into my 60s. By then, I'll be playing golf four or five times a week.

My message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you're willing to work pay the price. It doesn't matter what your age.

I hope to be at the top of my game when I'm 65 or 70. I don't want to reach my peak at 29. Not that I'm holding back anything, but there's a bunch of junk I don't know.

I won't be training at 60 years old, because I want to do something else in my life.

Before me, sprinters retired at 23 or 24. I run because I still like it, I can make a living, and I feel I was born to do it. And because people tell me I can't do it.

I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ.

The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.

I am concentrating on my fitness levels so that I don't look old.

I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.
