4 months later...

So, about that whole blogging my half-marathon training progress thing... turns out, I had nothing to write about. I'm up to 5.5 miles and will be running my first 10k in 11 days in Boulder (read "at breathe-sucking altitude"). I've just been taking it little-by-little to get ready. Nothing has been overly challenging, but it hasn't been easy either. My feet are basically the ugliest things you've ever seen because I've been running so much. Good thing I never had visions of being a foot model. 

I plan on waking up early to run tomorrow. I'm producing my first A's Pre and Postgame shows and will be needing to run off all the nervous energy. It's an excited nervous. No matter what happens (hopefully I don't cause anything to explode), it's such an exciting opportunity and hopefully the beginning of something I've been working towards for the last 10 years when I decided I wanted to be the A's play-by-play person someday. My goals have changed somewhat since I was 14. I was exposed to and fell in love with different elements of television, but the bigger goal of working in sports television and covering the A's never changed and thanks to several amazing people who have helped me along the way, I get to do something pretty darn cool. I've loved this team since I was a two-year old and I get to produce a show all about them (facing a huuuuge rival) tomorrow night.
