My Life Is A Blessing

I Was Blessed With A Long Career Where I Won Gold Medals For Myself And My Country. Nothing Stands Out As A Disappointment.

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.

My Life Is A Blessing Every Day That I Get Up. God Saved My Feet. How Am I Not Going To Use Them?

It Is So Important For Young Girls To Be Fit. I Think Sports Is The Key To Success, Because The Challenges You Face In Sports Prepare You For The Rest Of Your Life.
