Today Show Voiceover Taping

Wednesday, February 27th 2008

I wrote this yesterday, but it didn't post here. Hmmm. Anyhow...yesterday was interesting!

Today was really interesting. I did the teaching thing, of course. A car (Cadillac Escalade) came to pick me up at 2:00 on the dot and drove me to Seattle. I arrived a bit early to KING TV. Picked up the phone and told the receptionist I had a meeting with Bob Kennedy. The buzzed me in. Sat in the lobby for a few minutes until Bob came to get me.

We walked through the newsroom and it looked like ...

You People...

Sunday, February 24th 2008

...make me BLUSH! Thank you SO much for all the kudos on my test yesterday! It just feels great to have it over and I feel awesome about it. Even if, somehow, I don't pass I feel good about what I learned and that it gave me some directions of ways I can go from here.

So here's my five year plan...

I was out running last Summer and I thought, "Man, I would love to be able to incorporate what I love about fitness and training into what I love about my career." Don't get me wr...

Took my Personal Trainer Certification Today

Saturday, February 23rd 2008

So I've been taking this Personal Trainer Certification class. All along I have felt it was one of the most poorly run classes I've attended.

She allowed one particular student to dominate class wasting further time.

So last week I was stressing big time. I have been studying all the way along, so it isn't lik...

Wednesday, February 20th 2008

Twenty five years ago today I was home after leaving early from our State Wrestling Tournament (I was a manager). My best friend, Kathy, was staying the night with me. We left early because my boyfriend of 18 months broke up with me at state because I was upset that he'd given his phone number to a waitress. Seriously, the nicest thing he ever did for me.

The phone rang at 11 a.m. and it was for me.

"Hello?"

"Uh hi. This is Roy."

"!!!?"

Long and Slow

Sunday, February 17th 2008

Whew! Another long run in the bag, and this one really went great from beginning to end. Oh sure, some ouches here and there, but nothing important. Set up a workout with a half mile warm up then .5 mile run at a 10:00 pace and .1 mile walk.

Plan was for 11 miles, so I decided to map out an 11 mile run. When I put it into www.mapmyrun.com it came out to a bit over 12. I figured I'd play it by ear when I got out near the outlet mall and cut it short to hit 11 if I wanted to, or go for the wh...
