What’s your exercise routine?
It varies from day to day.
Easy days are usually an hour run at 7:30 pace.
What’s your go-to breakfast?
Oatmeal, skim milk, a scoop of almond butter with a banana and honey.
It just feels like a perfectly well-rounded breakfast with the dairy, fruit, fiber and protein.
Plus, honey is a miracle food.
I’ll eat this about five times a week and always before a workout and race.
What about lunch and dinner?
I will have some variation of rice, beans and avocado nearly every day.
I don’t do it nearly as well as my grandma, but it gets the job done.
What’s your most unhealthy habit?
I’m anight owl.
I like to stay up late and sleep in, which is not ideal as a professional athlete.
What’s your favorite gadget?
I got it from my mom for Christmas.
Needless to say, I make a really good guacamole now.
What item of clothing (or accessory) will you NEVER get rid of?
A chunky, elegant, black and silver abalone necklace from my mom.
I wear it whenever I am getting dressed up.
It just pulls the entire outfit together.
As far as workout gear goes, I would be lost without my PUMA Faas 300’s.
They’re super-lightweight and make my running natural and effortless – I never train without them.
What cause are you most passionate about?
I would love to see more females in executive sports positions.
There were a handful of us women in my Master of Science in Sports Management program at Columbia University.
