My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.

More quotes by Allyson Felix
I am a sprinter, and I love to go fast. It's very difficult for me to be patient and follow a race strategy or conserve energy.
Allyson Felix
It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though I was just focused on making it to the state finals!
Allyson Felix
I've heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that's really cool.
Allyson Felix
My mom always has this amazing ability to always see the best in a situation.
Allyson Felix
I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.
Allyson Felix
I myself am frustrated in just where sports are at. It's a hard thing when you're out there working every day, and you know that someone else is cheating and they may not necessarily get caught.
Allyson Felix
I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.
Allyson Felix
And as long as I'm passionate about the sport, I'm able to do that and I'm happy, then I would love to do another Olympics. I'm just going to see how I'm feeling.

I had worked so hard that was my opportunity. And my mom was just able to turn it around for me. She helped me to be able to see the other side of things and that this is not the end for me.

I know that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have paved the way and they have been a source of inspiration.
Allyson Felix
Jackie Joyner-Kersee is actually someone I have a personal relationship with and who continues to do amazing things in her community. I continue to be inspired by her. If I can emulate myself after someone it's her and I just hope to have that effect on my community and continue to go on to do things like she has.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
Allyson Felix
I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me. That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back. It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.
Allyson Felix
I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.
Allyson Felix
You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.
Allyson Felix
For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.
Allyson Felix
Being a role model is a privilege.
Allyson Felix
What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.
Allyson Felix
Every moment is not great and sometimes those are the moments in which you learn the most.

I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.
