I try to squeeze in a workout whenever I can, even if it's doing squats with my 7-month-old in the kitchen or jumping on the trampoline with my 5-year-old.
College softball each year reaches new levels of interest.
I'm living a dream. I hope in 10 years people will know me as a gold medalist.
I just feel like it gets harder and harder every year with Ace getting older and time away from my husband and even family events such as birthdays and friends' weddings and things that I've always just missed out on because of softball.
College was the greatest four years of my life.
Everything has gone beyond my expectations. I've had a great summer, and the fans have been tremendous. Chicago has taken us in and has been great.
Running a marathon is something I've always wanted to do.
Growing up, I watched softball and U.S.A .softball, and that was my goal of being able to represent my country and wear the red, white, and blue out there, and I think it is one of the highest honors to be able to go out there and compete for your country, and it was something so very special, and it was everything I dreamt of and more.
If I'm with my sons, I want to give them 100 percent. Whatever I am doing at that moment, I want to make the most of it.
I've faced more than 35 major leaguers, and only two have ever made contact against me.
I love being outside with my boys, playing tag or trying to keep up with them.
I'd love to have four or five kids.
I try to stay as low-key as possible, watch him pitch and eat some peanuts. If one person figures it out, they all do.
I try to not be too hard on myself regarding my diet. I've always been a workout-to-eat kind of a girl. I like to eat, to say the least.
