Who is your greatest inspiration and why? My parents. They have always been supportive of whatever I chose to do and never pushed me in one direction or the other. When I chose running, I was confident that it was my own decision and that they would be there with me every step of the way.

Favorite Olympic memory: Watching the 5,000m finals at the 2012 London Olympics
