In My Race, Theres 10

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.

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.

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

I Have A Real Passion For Children. I Always Wanted To Teach And Only Became An Athlete Because My Parents Told My Brother Parenthesis And Me That We Should Use Any God-given Talent We Had.

It's Totally Different Now, Traveling To Different Meets And Different Cities And Actually Being Able To Enjoy The Cities I'm In.
