I live by the statement "Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard." Giving up is not in my nature. I will never not give 110% at a meet no matter where I stand going into it. I am a naturally gifted runner and my times will never stop improving. I get a lot of "Whats your best time?" But the truth is I haven't reached it yet. I have extreme determination and once I set my mind on a goal, I will achieve that goal regardless of what it costs me, because to be number one you have to train like your number two.
