I'm Not A Marriage Expert, Quite Clearly.

I Made My First Australian Senior Team When I Was 16, First Olympics When I Was 19, And I Retired. I'm 32, I Retired Four Years Ago, So A Good Third Of My Life Or Nearly A Third Of My Life Has Been All About Running.

I Feel Like I've Reached An Age Where I Can Relax A Little Bit With The Knowledge Of What I've Been Through, Take All That Experience And Use It. I Love The Challenge Of Trying To Get Back To Where I've Been, And Beyond It.

The Last Sort Of Really Low-key Race I Ran, I Realized With About A Hundred Metres To Go, That My Heart Just Wasn't In It. I Wasn't Trying My Hardest, I Didn't Care To Compete Against The Girls I Was Up Against. That Spoke A Lot About Where My Heart Was Taking Me-which Was Off The Track.

I Felt So Full Of Gratitude And Humility That I Clasped My Hands In Front Of Me, Closed My Eyes And Said A Silent Prayer Of Thanks To God... I Had At Last Achieved Something I'd Wanted For So Long... My Insides Bubbled With Happiness. It Was A Dream Come True.

I'm Learning In My Own Sort Of Quiet, Out-of-the-spotlight Kind Of Way. I Certainly Have My General Point Of View About The Government, And The Future Of Our Children. I'm Certainly Learning All The Time, I'm Happy To Be An Onlooker For Now.
