More quotes by Summer Sanders
Running is how I clear my head and find my center again.
Summer Sanders
I grew up in northern California, where it was consistently in the hundreds in the summertime. My dad didn't think he should have to turn on the air conditioning when we had a swimming pool in our backyard it was our built-in air conditioner.
Summer Sanders
It really was my brother who got me involved in swimming. I wanted to be just like him and do everything he was doing.
Summer Sanders
The more sleep you get in before the clock turns midnight, the more rested you feel no matter what time your alarm goes off.
Summer Sanders
I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They've seen me come home from so many runs and asked, 'What's on your skin? How did you get it?' And I tell them, 'It's from exercise!' So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, 'Look, Mom. I'm sweating! I just worked out!'
Summer Sanders
I love to swim. When I jump in the water, I feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's really funny how it does that to me.
Summer Sanders
Tennis is interesting because the women are almost more popular than the men. In the U.S. Open, women even get exactly the same money as the men.
Summer Sanders
I slice up a ton of cucumbers, celery, carrots and red and yellow peppers. Keep them in your fridge so you always have something handy to curb your snack attack.
Summer Sanders
Indoor pools just don't seem as inviting to me.
Summer Sanders
There is nothing in this world that I love more than my family. To be able to share the joy of running with them at the Runner's World Half Marathon and Running Festival where we can all participate together is as close as you can get to a perfect weekend.
Summer Sanders
That's what I love about running - I feel like we all celebrate each other. Even if you're racing somebody at the finish, it's like you're in it together.
Summer Sanders
I have so much to learn when it comes to running. I just don't ever want it to feel like a chore. When I choose to sign up for a race or go out for a run, it's to make myself feel good, and I almost always do.
Summer Sanders
Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.
Summer Sanders
The first mile is mental. The rest are all heart.
Summer Sanders
To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.
Summer Sanders
I was a die-hard, obsessed fan of Michael Jordan. I'd take his posters with me to away meets, I'd walk out on the deck in my Air Jordans before I swam, I'd write 23 on my cap. I'm just a huge Jordan fan.
Summer Sanders
Preparing mentally takes more out of you than the physical aspect of it.
Summer Sanders
For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!
Summer Sanders
It's not really about the competition. Your biggest challenge in a race is yourself. You're often racing against time. You're frequently running everything through your mind. You're always competing against preconceived ideas. It's not really the person next to you that you worry about.
Summer Sanders
When people say, 'Hey, wanna come to our house for dinner?' I say, 'Yeah, what should I bring?' They say, 'How about the dessert?' I just don't skimp on the dessert. I make it the yummy way it should be made, and then I just don't eat the whole pan.
