I love to swim. When I jump in the water, I feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's really funny how it does that to me.

Don't just tell your kids to be active and to get outside and play. Lead by example.

I don't care how much you're working out; when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'

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.

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.

I love KIND bars. My favorites are coconut and almond and the dark chocolate and sea salt because staying fueled helps keep me from getting sick or injured. Bananas have also made a great comeback in my life. My kids eat them all the time on the go, which has inspired my go-to pre-run morning meal of peanut butter and banana on toast.

You can't go wrong with some nuts. The key word is 'some.' Eat them one at a time, not by the handful.
