We were sad, disappointed, shell-shocked.

Once I met coach, she gave me a chance, and I just fell in love with it.

Nobody expected it, because we had talent. We have talent this year, and it better not happen again. We don't expect it to.

I love that feeling of just finishing a workout and knowing I'm taking care of my body. It is such a good feeling.

If you had asked me when I was 28 and in my wedding dress if I ever thought I would end up in my forties flipping my husband the bird over potato chips, I'd say you were crazy.

I can't say I'm not guilty of age discrimination when it comes to animals. Like most people I've walked into a shelter more than a few times and a magnetic force has pulled me toward those fluffy little puppies in the corner cage.
