Couch to 5K – A rockin’ Friday night

My bed was way too comfortable this morning to get to the gym. And to think, daylight saving time kicks in this weekend, so next week is going to be a tough one! I didn’t make it to the gym this morning, but I managed to get there after work. What a way to spend…

You know you work in television news when…

It dawned on me the other day that I’m not quite right in the head.  I blame the news business.  Then I got to thinking, maybe there are others like me?  Let me know and please add to the list! You know you work in television news when: You always have your cell phone at…

Running: Day 2- I’m still alive!

Day 2 of “official 5K training” is done. It was one of those days that I wasn’t sure would work with exercise! I worked late last night, early this morning and wanted to sleep instead of wake up early to go to the gym. I brought my exercise gear to work thinking I would get…

Spinning…and spinning…

I went spinning this morning. I try to go once a week, but it’s been a little hard to get there lately. Well, this year… Today I had to work late, so I got to go to the 9:45 a.m. class.  Let me tell you what, it made me want to be a stay-at-home mom!…

From couch to 5k: I run a 15 minute mile

FACT: I can hold my breath for longer than I can run. I’ve signed up for a 5K in the middle of April.  Hopefully it’s the motivation I need to really get healthy. Here’s the ugly truth…I’ve never ran a mile in life. I’ve always had asthma – since the day I was born. Growing…

Funny Michigan Billboards

One of my favorite things to do on a road trip, find the funny in local billboards. It’s not hard to find the funny in some of the signs along I-94 in Michigan. Not sure what happens when you get near Jackson, MI, but the signs are just too much…. Not sure what sort of…

What the What?!?!

This is excellent news for TV dorks like myself. NBC says “30 Rock” is going live this fall. The network said Friday a live episode of the comedy will air Oct. 14 and will be performed twice so that both East and West Coast viewers get to see it that way. NBC executives told the…
