I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.
I hated Sundays when I was growing up in Streatham, south London. Everything closed down and stopped.
I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.
