During the 2008 Olympic Trials race, a question haunted me: “Can you live with yourself, (if you are fourth again?).” I didn’t have to answer that question. I finished third, making the team and making up for the disappointment of finishing fourth in 2004 after leading much of the race.
Weeks ago, I was haunted by a similar question: “Can you live with yourself if you give up competitive running now?” The answer is absolutely not! I know I have only one or two years left of competitive running, and I plan on making ending my career on a high note and enjoying every step of the way.
