I Loved The Feeling Of Freedom In Running, The Fresh Air, The Feeling That The Only Person I'm Competing With Is Me.

I Don't Consciously Try To Be A Role Model, So I Don't Know If I Am Or Not. That's For Other People To Decide.

I Thought I'd Never Get To See That. Florence Griffith Joyner -- Every Time She Ran, I Ran.
