Growing up, I was always into sports - basketball and volleyball - but I wasn't really a runner.

I'm an athlete, but I'm not a runner. I'm 5-foot-8 and stocky - not exactly a runner's type.

I ran track. I ran cross country. But I did not play organized basketball in high school, at least on our team. But I played a lot of sports.

I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.

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.

Never played football, but I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor.

I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I've always been very athletic.

I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.

I ran track for my school. I played football, but I didn't play for my high school; I played for a little league team.
