ATHLETE SUZY FAVOR HAMILTON As a Kid: "My dreams as a kid tended to revolve around running. Surprise, Surprise! I first started to dream about being in the Olympics when I saw the 1984 games on television. I remember being in my basement and watching the 3000 meters where Zola Budd and Mary Decker collided. I found myself thinking someday I would love to be in the Olympics. " As an Adult: In 2002 Suzy was ranked #3 in the world in the 1500. She was also ranked #1 in the 1500 in the US. She's currently ranked #2 in the world in the 1500. PACK IT The Lunch: Turkey sandwich on wheat bread with swiss cheese Celery with peanut butter and raisins on top. Orange Sugarless gum Grape juice From Suzy: The celery, peanut butter, and raisin treat is called "Ants on a Log." It was something I had in my lunch as a kid and I loved it. The piece of sugarless gum is to get the peanut butter off your teeth. I think it's a good idea to not have too much sugar in kids' lunches so they don't go through highs and lows during the day.
