I just don't worry. I don't think about what is gonna happen, it's what I am going to do.

Could be Berkeley, could be Miami, I don't know which ocean I'm at. I don't know who my teammates are ... I see myself doing something positive, but there are some gaps.

I never had a break from running. I went year-round. The doctors gave me the OK and as soon as I got that, I was off and running.

The coach talked a lot about the graduation rate, which is about 97 percent. And it's quiet down there, so I can concentrate.

It was like home. I like the environment -- it's not a party school, and I need something (constructive) to do to keep me focused -- and they specialize in my event.
