EVELYN ASHFORD

I've noticed that since I've been pregnant I see babies everywhere. I love talking to them. I never used to really like kids that much. I guess it comes out of you naturally.

I can feel the wind go by when I run. It feels good. It feels fast.

I was single-minded and I had tunnel vision. Now it's time for a change.

When I'm running fast, I don't feel anything, it's effortless, it's like my feet don't even touch the ground, it's like I'm flying.

I believe in women. I believe in myself. I believe in my body.

I want it all. Fame, fortune and all the commercials there are to do.

I take pride in everything I do. I don't want to be handed anything. I want to earn it.

I want to combine a business major with studies in clothing and textiles.

The fastest way to get me to go out and do something is to tell me no way I can do it.

Now, I talk to athletes who answer questions with a 'yeah'. I realize I used to do that. Or they answer very quickly and you stand there trying to come up with another question to ask. I've seen both sides and it's been very educational.

Before me, sprinters retired at 23 or 24. I run because I still like it, I can make a living, and I feel I was born to do it. And because people tell me I can't do it.

Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.

I always want to be the best and if I can't, I don't want to run.

I have a nice family and I'm well rounded.

I am thrilled to be 31, still running and having my daughter watch me even if it is on TV.

I can't run forever. I decided to go back to school for my degree, because I know now there's more to life than track.
