I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me.

You don't take a class; you're thrown into motherhood and learn from experience.

Softball has given me so much in life. It's taught me the kind of person I want to be, and given me a sweet sisterhood. It even led me to my husband.

College was the greatest four years of my life.

Being fit and being in the best shape that I can be helps me be the best mom as well.

From what I hear, it's a normal thing to feel guilty as a mother, especially when trying to fill the needs of a newborn along with maintaining what you had with your first child.

I realize the differences between my children and use what works for each of them individually.

Throwing a ball is not natural, whether it's overhand or underhand.

I loved being on the field playing and teaching softball. I didn't like the fact that a camp had my name on it and I didn't know the logistics of what was going on. I wanted to make sure I was involved in a camp that did things right.

I was honored to wear 'Arizona' across my chest. I am extremely blessed to have my education completely paid for and take part in the great tradition of Wildcat softball. To have my jersey number retired was the ultimate compliment.

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.
