Going back to the '70s and '80s I was one of the athletes who believed in true sport. I never took medical supplements, believed in diet and exercising. I always represent clean athletes.

I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.

When I first started running there were no computers. There was no such thing as a laptop.

I used to have tears in my eyes on the way to practice because I was so focused. For me, track and field was serious business. I didn't have any friends. I was very isolated and very focused.
