Were you always strong/athletic/muscular? I was always a weakling. When I was around 11 years old I attempted and failed to do a push-up. I knew then that I had to do something about it.

Athletic Background...sports played growing up, honors won?: Played soccer and basketball as a kid... never panned out into the teen years.

After realizing that I was pathetically weak, I started lifting when I was around 11 years old. I never really took it very seriously, I just wanted to feel good about myself.
Has lifting had a positive impact on your life and how?: I don't think it's possible for me to be happy if I'm not in shape. It makes my body smile.

What empowers/motivates you as an athlete..why do you train?: I always feel like I should put my best effort into everything I do. And as a friend of mine said when commenting on his very low heart rate... "This baby only has so many beats it in."
Who are your role models and why?: I love gymnasts' bodies. I would die a happy Pam if I had a body like that for just one day.

How do people, men in particular, react to your physique?: Shocked!
What are your future goals in athletics and weight lifting? I don't have any serious goals. I just want to stay in shape and look good.
