More quotes by Allyson Felix
If I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.

My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.

The biggest way I stay motivated is to run with a group of friends. Sometimes it's hard to get going by yourself, but if you have a plan and a meeting time, you know this run will happen for sure. It's a way to have fun - while also getting in a workout. Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

I feel like my name completely does not belong on that list [of great athlets], but I'm completely grateful for everything that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have done.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.
Allyson Felix
My faith is the reason I run - it calms my heart and makes everything feel like a lift. My speed is definitely a gift from Him, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, He allows me to do it.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.
Allyson Felix
Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.

I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.
