Round the bend my achilles was too bad so there was no point in fighting any more |
But even if I do, after that definitely not - my body is not ready to take any more punishment. Now it's just as case of trying to do one thing at a time. |

He'd just come into my life but it shook me up very much. That was a life-changing experience that sometimes touches you in more ways that you think. |
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. |

I can't believe it's been a year, |
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%. |
I have another MRI scan in three weeks' time, |
I have to be clear of injury if I am to run at the Commonwealth Games. I am not going there struggling. I have done enough of that in my career. |
I hope to take part in the indoor season, and that really will depend upon how much I train and my progression. |
I need to get my leg sorted out and decide with a fresh mind. |
I was really emotional over the last few days here knowing it was going to be my last race - it is something I love to do, |
I'm pretty emotional, ... Athletics has been my life, my passion. |
I've achieved everything I wanted. I have nothing to prove, including to myself. Looking at what I've achieved, I don't think there is anything that is going to surpass that. |
