depends leg point
It depends on the leg and where you go from this point in time, ... It's if I want to do it as well as being able to do it.
athens athlete great hectic last running since time wait
It has been such a hectic time since Athens and since I last raced at the end of the summer. It has been great fun, but I'm an athlete and running is what I do. I can't wait to get back on to the track.
decide fresh leg sorted
I need to get my leg sorted out and decide with a fresh mind.
rested
It's so important for me to be rested before a big race.
decision injuries irrational mind prepared until
I don't want to make an irrational decision with an injury. You just give up on injuries and I am not prepared to do that. I can't make my mind up until that is 100%.
although decision fit point realistic remaining until whether
I've told the selectors I will give it until mid-November to make my decision whether to compete. I really do want to go but I have to be realistic and if I'm not fit enough, there is no point - although I am remaining hopeful.
expect felt last obviously quite racing round
I actually didn't expect to get round the whole 800 meters, so I'm quite pleased. Around the last 250 meters, I really felt my leg. That obviously wasn't me racing at my best.
planes
Without planes I wouldn't be able to do what I do.
