I've found that it's easier to stay in shape than it is to get into shape.

It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it.

When I got into the sport I was so fat that my manager said he should send me to boot camp to lose the weight!

The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.

Boot Camp was great and very interesting. You got to use live rounds of ammunition and got to do a lot of crawling around with live rounds flying around you, so you really had to learn to keep your ass down - everything down for that matter.

I was just used to being in shape, and getting out of it was really difficult for me.

Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be.

The act of exercising at 6 A.M. really helped me. It made me not dread the workout part of my day all day long. Also, when I went to have a tiny cheat, I would really think back to how hard I worked and thought, 'It is not worth going to boot camp an extra week over one peanut butter cup.'

I actually feel, in a lot of ways, that I'm in better shape than I was when I was 30.

I loved the bootcamp and the training. It was the actual Navy and the structure after it that I realized wasn't for me because they're building soldiers. It's a system, and you can't really stick out; you can't be the oddball out in the military.
