My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him. Allyson Felix
I myself am frustrated in just where sports are at. It's a hard thing when you're out there working every day, and you know that someone else is cheating and they may not necessarily get caughtAllyson Felix
The biggest way I stay motivated is to run with a group of friends. Sometimes it's hard to get going by yourself, but if you have a plan and a meeting time, you know this run will happen for sure. It's a way to have fun - while also getting in a workout. Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push. Allyson Felix
Try to think of working out and healthy eating as a lifestyle. Rather than go on a diet or try a crazy exercise routine, try making them something you do every day.Allyson Felix
The 200 meters is my baby. To me, it's the perfect distance. It's still a true sprint, but it unravels more. You get to enjoy the race a little bit more than the 100.Allyson Felix
Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.Allyson Felix
I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do. Allyson Felix
I always look back to my first Olympic medal in 2004 in Athens. I was very new to the sport, and it was my first big win at the Olympics.Allyson Felix
I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift. Allyson Felix
My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.Allyson Felix
You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.Allyson Felix
I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared. Allyson Felix
