Almost Famous...

Yesterday we had our tiny little brush with fame.

We got interviewed and had pictures taken for an article that is slated to run in the Daytona Beach News Journal this Sunday. YIPPEE!!! Of course I'll supply the link when it happens. Of course.

It was a funny process all around. Kate and I found ourselves talking non-stop about the training experience, too fast for the reporter to keep up with us. Then we got to have pictures of us taken while stretching and running. It brought a whole new level of worry to the exercising aspect. Thoughts like "Is my hat crooked? Is my shirt flipped up? Is my nose running?" flew through our minds. But we made it through the experience, even the part where the photographer was driving slowly next to us as we ran, leaning out the window and snapping zillions of photos as he drove. I think we handled it all with grace. Maybe? I guess I won't know for sure 'till the paper comes out on Sunday...

...and till then all there is time to do is exercise! So since my hammies felt a little sore from my yoga weekend, we debated about what kind of run to do yesterday. It was either the fast 20 minute or the semi-fast 40 minute. I figured we should shoot for the latter since it would be an easier pace. It was feeling good but we opted to go for a 30-ish minute run instead, just to keep it on the down low for my whiny hammies. Good times.

Today, in a little bit, we'll go for a swim. That will be about the same time, but will be a quickie (lack of conversation) as Kate has a post-exercise dinner to attend...

So that's that on my newly almost famous life. More later...
