I Want To Keep My Private Life

You Got To Try And Reach For The Stars Or Try And Achieve The Unreachable.

My Feelings Tried To Control Me On My Run. I Had To Concentrate Fully On Forthcoming Running And Success. I Wanted To Triumph.

I Was Running Since I Was 10. Since Grade One At School People Looked At Me And Thought, Oh Gosh She Can Really Run, She's A Natural.

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.

I Want To Be A Positive Role Model, Especially For Kids And Aboriginal People... When People See Me, Often All They See Is Another Australian Athlete Having A Go. It Isn't Until They See The Full Cathy Freeman Picture That They Realise How Proud I Am Of My Ancestry And Heritage. I'd Like A Little More Tolerance And Acceptance Of My Culture And All The Differing Cultures That Make Up Australia.
