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. |
If there was no air travel, I wouldn't be able to race overseas and I wouldn't have an international career. I simply wouldn't be able to do what I do. |
It [the scan] might say it has nearly healed, |
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. |
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. |
It might say it has nearly healed, but if it shows that we can't get rid of the injury and that it needs an operation, then it's not worth thinking about the Commonwealth Games. |
It's been a complete struggle to be honest, |
It's so important for me to be rested before a big race. |
It's something I'll never ever forget, |
Let that settle and get back into fitness and then I need a clear head to make my mind up on my future and the Commonwealth Games, |
Now it's just as case of trying to do one thing at a time. |
Sheffield has been a great event for me in the past, |
That's if I go to the Commonwealth Games, |
There is nothing like competing before a home crowd. |
We'll have to wait and see whether I am fit enough, |
