VERONICA Campbell Brown says she is settling well in her new surroundings in the Atlanta suburbs after her recent move from Clearwater in central Florida where she was previously based.

Campbell Brown recently announced her separation from coach Lance Brauman, who guided her career for the past six years, and her subsequent switch to Anthony Carpenter, who is based in Atlanta, to prepare for the upcoming season.

The two-time Olympic 200-metre champion and former IAAF World Championships 100m winner said in her December edition of her online diary on the IAAF website, “I am still getting used to my new location (Georgia), but must say I am settling in nicely so far.”

She said she spent the Thanksgiving holidays with her husband Omar Brown and training partners from On Track Management group watching television and playing board games.

After a short break from the end of her injury-ravaged 2009 season, the Jamaican star says she is back in training and looking forward to next season, which she hopes will include her first ever IAAF World Indoors to be held in Doha, Qatar, in March.

“I’m fully back in training now and so far things are progressing well. I’m adjusting and adapting to my new programme and looking forward to 2010.

“We have a training group that is very serious about practice and we all motivate each other, especially when the training would get the better of us,” she said.

The former Vere Technical sprinter who was recently in the island to launch her book, A Better You- Inspirations for Life’s Journey, as well as to hand out sporting gear to two primary schools, Bryce Primary in Manchester and Troy Primary in Trelawny, also extended congratulations to recently crowned IAAF male and female athletes of the year, Usain Bolt and Sanya Richards.
