As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter. ↗

Last year was a tough decision for me, to end my season so short. But it was the right decision for me, because right now I feel great. I can go out here and sprint full speed right now, but I'm just going to pace myself for April 5. ↗

Even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and still power in the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow. ↗

You do, mostly, in track, different sessions, sprinting and medium sessions in different style. You have to see that even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and you can still power the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow. ↗

I was running to catch a train when one of my teachers saw me. He thought I was fast, time me, and later gave me my first instructions in sprinting. I happened to be at the right place at the right time. ↗

I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports, I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things. ↗

Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best. ↗

I love running. I’m not into marathons, but I am into avoiding problems at an accelerated rate.

Maya Angelou entered our lives at Virago in 1984, when we first published I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. "Entered our lives" is too tame. She danced, sang, and laughed her way straight into our hearts. She brought us a best-seller, but more than that, she brought us a reminder that the human need for dignity and recognition is a gift easily given to one another, but also frighteningly easy to withhold. ↗

Hurdling, sprinting, athletics in general, is always in the back of your mind. ↗
