More quotes by Allyson Felix
I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.
Allyson Felix
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 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.

Allyson Felix
The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.
Allyson Felix
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.
Allyson Felix
I always look back to my first Olympic medal in 2004 in Athens. I was very new to the sport, and it was my first big win at the Olympics.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.
Allyson Felix
Most people don't think about plyometrics when they think about powerful strength. But I do lots of them to build mine.
Allyson Felix
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.
Allyson Felix
I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.
