Looking Back, I'm So Proud To Have

I Was Diagnosed With Graves' Disease, An Illness Of The Thyroid Gland. Instead Of Surgery, I Was Given Radiation Treatment.

I Always Said A Prayer Before I Ran, And My Prayer Was To Win. My Prayer Was That God Would Allow Me To Run My Best On That Day, Or Better Than My Best. So Whatever The Outcome Is, I Have To Be Satisfied With It If I Know I Gave It My Best Effort.

I Didn't Get Nervous When I Ran, But I Get Nervous Watching Other People Now. I Root For Anybody With A Usa On Their Chest.

You Have To Find That Love Within Yourself. If You Love Yourself, You Feel Good About Yourself, And Sports Help You Feel Good About Yourself.

People Talk About Retiring. I Never Said That R-word. People Though I Went Away After The Olympic Games. I Took Time Off To Do Something I've Always Wanted To Be - A Mother.
