When I grew up Carl Lewis was still running, Maurice Greene was running - he was that figure I see, like Michael Johnson. I really wanted to look up to the fast guys - so those two guys were some of the guys I looked up to.
I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down.
I'm 29 years-old and, sure, I'm looking to find a wife,
I've dated athletes before but it's too tough because we have the same job, we deal with the same problems and both do a very selfish sport,
I lift weights and I run, thats what I do.
But I believe the older I get, I'm wiser and I train smarter.
I do a lotta trash talking to keep me motivated, to keep me to not want to lose.
I eat 230 grams of protein daily, 308 grams of carbohydrates, maybe 70 grams of fat. I can have one cheat meal a week but it can't be that I eat until I'm stuffed; I eat until I'm satisfied.
I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think - there's nothing that can replace that.
It's all about training smart.
My daughter's mother and I are no longer dating, and the people I'm most likely to date are those around me, who are athletes.
I want to find that defining moment that you're satisfied and you've done what you want to do in your life.
