absolutely best hands months nervous run seven shape start
I am probably in the best shape I've ever been in but I haven't raced. I was so nervous at the start my hands were absolutely jumpy. I haven't run a 400 for seven months so I was just petrified.
games good risk shape since tight
I've just had a tight hamstring since Brisbane (last week). I didn't want to risk it, I'm in too good a shape to risk my Commonwealth Games this year. That's it really.
awesome beautiful front home win
She did an awesome job. It's a beautiful story for her to win in front of her home crowd.
bulk fast females fine lean quite run skinny strong
A lot of us females think if you are really lean you are going to run really fast but it is not really about that -- it is if you are really strong you are going to run really fast. If you are too skinny you haven't got any bulk so it is quite a fine line.
days last ready strong twenty
I feel fantastic, really strong over the last 100m. Twenty days to go. I'm ready to go.
feet rebuild talking
As long as I do the talking with my feet and not anything else, I can rebuild myself.

That is where all the talk should be done, nowhere else.

It's the most exciting thing to happen to me and I think my wedding will be second.

It's really helped me. I'm feeling strong again.

This is just fantastic, nothing will ever beat this, it's the greatest day of my life.
close low
I'm pretty close to that (a low 53sec) now, so I'm pretty confident.
close easy felt finished great open quite spot strong
I'm ecstatic, it was quite an easy run. I finished that with no problem. I wasn't tired, I wasn't fatigued, I felt tall, open and strong and that is a great spot to be in this close to the Games.
deserved gold rightly win
They rightly deserved to win the gold medal.
asked bonus relay run
Rosie asked me to run and I want to run for them. To run the relay is a bonus and there is no real pressure.
