People see me now and ask if I’m still running. I may look like I am, but I’m really not. People think I still run every day but I ran for 25 years and I deserve to not do anything but walk or ride the bike with my kids.
Gail Devers Quotes
I didn't get nervous when I ran, but I get nervous watching other people now. I root for anybody with a USA on their chest.
