I'm glad that I ran track in high school. I think it paid off.

I had this fascination with four-track recorders when I was in high school.

I can't run forever. I decided to go back to school for my degree, because I know now there's more to life than track.

In high school, I did a little track and field and ran on my own. In college, I would run every now and again, but I didn't have enough time to be devoted to it.

I never really loved school through junior high, but then I started running track my freshman year, and I was just like, 'Wow, this is cool!'

I started working out with my mom in 4th grade. She used to take me to the track.

All my life, I have been surrounded by the track. The week I was born, Dad took me to training. I do recall at some stage being pushed around in a pram on a track. I have a lot of inspiration from him. To see him carrying the Sydney Olympic torch really ignited my dream. As a coach, he knows the in and outs of race walking and technique.

When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.

I feel like I was born to ride the track.
