I was 12 when I started and 34 before I achieved my dream, that should give people hope.
Sometimes, when I walk out onto the track I think, 'What am I doing here? Why do I put myself through this?' But that's when you really get into your focus ... you focus on the race you are going to run.
When you cross the line, it is such a wonderful feeling it's hard to describe.
I think people realise that I'm happy with what I've achieved.
I became depressed and I cut my self with scissors and stuff.
