I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They've seen me come home from so many runs and asked, 'What's on your skin? How did you get it?' And I tell them, 'It's from exercise!' So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, 'Look, Mom. I'm sweating! I just worked out!'

Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.

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.

I enjoyed every bit of my swimming career. I think that's the most important advice - to enjoy what you do

At 4, I joined a summer rec team called the Sugar Bears.

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

Running is how I clear my head and find my center again.
