Misty May-Treanor

“I try to do something every day. I lift weights at least three to four days per week, and I'll intersperse that with cardio. For example, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'll run and do heavy lifting, and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'll spend two hours lifting weights, as well as something like swimming.”

“I've never been outside Heathrow so it will be exciting to see what London has to offer. I think I've only flown into Heathrow maybe twice.”

“I'm an avid animal lover. When I was 16, I wanted to be a vet or a zookeeper. I grew up with animals. At one time we had between five and eight dogs in the house, with four cats. We're menagerie people.”

“My biggest goal for the future is motherhood.”

“Over the years, I've made many sacrifices to win two Olympic gold medals and put together winning streaks that will never be broken.”

“The more colorful the food, the better. I try to add color to my diet, which means vegetables and fruits.”

“If there are fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies on the table, I won't say no to those. Soy sauce is another one, even though it's awful - it's so high in sodium.”

“I know when things are going to get me a little nervous, because nervous to me feels good.”

“I juice everything! Whether it's beet, carrot, or apple, I'll juice it. I always keep brown rice in the kitchen. I'll often pack a cooler full of food to have throughout the day when I'm busy.”

“She had a hit for every syllable: 'Don't. You. Ever. Talk. To. Me. Like. That. Ever. Again.' That was the last time I ever talked back to Mom.”

“I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.”

“It's important to just kind of get away from your sport until you miss it. It's about taking time to enjoy other aspects of life or learn new things. It helps rejuvenate.”

“I've got to read the 'Hunger Games' before I see the movie.”

“I would like to instill in people just to work hard. As long as they keep at it, their dreams will happen.”

“I didn't want to stop before my time was up.”

“My favorite power food is Greek yogurt and honey.”

“I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.”

“I want to go out on my terms.”

“I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.”

“My campaign is about getting pets to be more active, and exercise with your animal is a great way for people to exercise. When you're out with your pet, it becomes fun. You don't think of it as a chore. For me, taking my dog out for a walk is very relaxing.”
