When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.

I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a.m.

I hate how late we have our Olympic Trials, always have.

I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.

I was the official wedding photographer at one of my best friends' weddings. Fortunately she was one of the most easygoing brides ever, so she made it easy for me.

I'm up before 5 a.m., I have breakfast, then swimming, Pilates, weight training, and physical therapy. I'm constantly going from one thing to the next. Everyone is busy, but that's my busy.

Leading a healthy, active lifestyle is all about momentum. If I'm in the middle of training it's easy for me to keep that up. It gets tough when I'm on a break. I just try to start my day with a good breakfast and a quick walk, something simple that gets the day off on the right foot. The more I do that, the more I make healthy choices that reflect the good choices made earlier.
