It really was my brother who got me involved in swimming. I wanted to be just like him and do everything he was doing.

The more sleep you get in before the clock turns midnight, the more rested you feel no matter what time your alarm goes off.

The first mile is mental. The rest are all heart.

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.

When people say, 'Hey, wanna come to our house for dinner?' I say, 'Yeah, what should I bring?' They say, 'How about the dessert?' I just don't skimp on the dessert. I make it the yummy way it should be made, and then I just don't eat the whole pan.

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.

The kids know what I'm doing when I exercise, and that's powerful. So don't just tell your kids to go play outside. Take a moment off your computer, put on your tennis shoes, hop outside and help them start their game and run off some energy.
