7 Mile Sunday- Show Launch Monday

Taking my Saturday off from running- Sunday I need to clock 7 miles, which should be just like last week's 6 miles, but plus one.

duh. right?

Runners understand exactly my thought process behind that seemingly nonsensical statement.

Non-runners think anything over 3 miles sounds a bit looney tunes. I get it!

MONDAY is very exciting at CW39! We are launching our brand new 39 News @ 9.

We've all been working very hard to put it to air- it's a new show with a new concept, and should be a whole lotta fun!

Can't wait to see you then.

P.S. if there's a little look of fatigue in my eyes on tv, you can blame it on the 7 mile (that was just like the six mile, only plus one)!

You don't want to miss it!

Back & Refreshed

Back blogging from Houston this a.m. after a quick trip to visit the fam in Scottsdale, AZ.

yes, it really does look like the movies :)

gorg, huh? and that's my parents dinosaur, Colby.

Realized 2 things on this trip:

1- I feel much more at home in Houston than I did in Virginia (even though all my great friends are still there - and even though my time there taught me to 'eat fresh eat local'- and even though i wouldn't take it back in a heartbeat). This just feels a bit more comfortable!

and 2- I must have lost my brain planning to run 26 miles in January with my mom.

After originally planning to run the Chervron Houston solo in Houston - I've scratched that- and now will be running with my athletic mother - so we can clock in our first ever marathons together, or rather- she will be sprinting ahead of me toward the finish line so that she clocks in 1/4 of a second faster, thereby earning bragging rights that at 45, she beat her 24 year-old daughter in a race.

Will we blog during it? maybe- tentatively planning to video blog- that way it's easier to really convey how nuts we're realizing we are along the route.

My mom is already bloggin' away about her training.

Check it out!

Also- back to work today! planning, and practicing, and planning some more for our big 5p show premiere on Monday on CW39 News. Don't miss it!
