meals honestly plans
Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.
workout cheer thinking-about-you
Thinking about your training should put a smile on your face. As cliche as it sounds, you are worth all the time and energy you've put in. Unleash your emotions with a cheer, or even a signature roar, after a tough workout.
athlete cutting thinking
Quite simply, my diet has and will always be everything in moderation. People look at Olympic athletes and think they must cut out all those things everyone else indulges in, and speaking for myself, I never did.
eggs light important
Protein is important and hard for me to get in a hurry. We're busy. I don't always remember to thaw the chicken for dinner. I always have eggs, and they're light and satisfying. I never feel stuffed at the end of it.
teaching fall kids
I think some parents fall into a trap, teaching their kids that everything is always perfect and everyone is always a winner.
dream school tv-shows
For as long as I wanted to swim, I also wanted to do something on TV. My best friend in high school, we used to pretend like we had a TV show, and we had this dream of being the next 'Kate Allie.' Having that kind of a shtick.
workout hard-work add
For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!
planning aspect preparing
Preparing mentally takes more out of you than the physical aspect of it.
summer team bears
At 4, I joined a summer rec team called the Sugar Bears.
pool inviting seems
Indoor pools just don't seem as inviting to me.
success sports believe
It's hard to go out and practice every single day, and you get really tired. But you have to believe in yourself.
sunday snacks healthy
Here's what I've learned about eating healthy when you're busy: It's all about preparation. Make your snacks on Sunday, and you will be good to go until Thursday or so.
boston race honor
Boston is the cream of the crop of the marathon world. It has such history that you feel such honor just being a part of it. All the other races have pacers to get you to a Boston qualifying time.
brother team swimming
I started swimming when I was four because my brother wanted to join a swim team, and I wanted to do what he did. They said I had to be six, but if I could swim a lap, then I could participate. So I swam a lap, and the rest is history.
