John & Tammy: San Diego's Morning Show
Producer Jessica in Training for a Half Marathon
- Producer Jessica, I saw on one of your Instagram stories, you ran four miles the other day? - Yeah. - Were you being chased? (laughs) - Good for you, four miles is no joke. - Thank you, yeah, no, I'm back in half marathon training now. - Okay, so, 'cause I'm a masochist. - Okay, so we know that you did your marathon for St. Jude as a fundraiser and you did a really good job and you raised money, thank you for that. - Yeah, that was a 10K, so it was only six miles that time. I am doing the, it's the Disneyland half marathon challenge. - Okay. - So, since February, so on the Saturday, I run the 10K, the six miles, and then on the Sunday, the next day I run a half marathon. - Whoa. - Which is how long? - 13.1 miles. - So you're planning on running somewhat about 20 miles back-to-back date? - It's 19. - All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. - 20 miles. - 20 miles. - And if John did, it's 27 miles. - Of course it is. - Did I tell you I ran 30 miles? (laughing) - You're gonna run 20 miles in one weekend, back-to-back days. - Yeah, so I used to do these all the time and then, you know, I had a kid and so I didn't. So, I haven't done one of these in about 10 years. - Okay. - So, right now I'm in training, so that's why I did the four miles last week. I'm running about three times a week. I have a whole training plan, but it's a lot of work and you really have to, especially 'cause my body is so different than it was 10 years ago after a kid. - Our whole verse, yes. - So, I have to really pay attention to what I'm eating, how I'm training. - Let's do this. - Yeah, I'm impressed. - I know, during the holiday season two, really dumb mistake I made, but, you know-- - Or a complete lesson and discipline and willpower that will help you even more. - So, but I am doing it for St. Jude again, okay. So, I'll post the link on our Facebook and Instagram. Last race I did for St. Jude, I had to raise $1,000. This time I need to raise $2,000. - Okay, so-- - I wonder if you're gonna be like my cousin Dave. Dave, I never thought him to be a runner, but decided that he wanted to start running. And now, I think, I don't think there's a marathon on this earth, he hasn't run it. He's on Tokyo marathon, he's on the German marathon, the London marathon, the Boston marathon. I mean-- - Are there a real housewives marathon? Does that count? - Yes, absolutely. - Bitch watched, that's hilarious. My point is, Jessica, do you think it's now become a thing for him, he's addicted to it. Do you see that happening to you is my question? - I'm not a full marathon person, and I don't-- - You're not at this time, you're not, but don't know if you do this. - No, I never will be. 'Cause the 13 miles destroys my body, like I'm sore for a couple days. And really, I just wanna get this next one done, and I think I'm done. I have been addicted to them in the past, so the half-marathons. I was doing two or three a year, I did one year where I did at least a 5K every single month. - Wow. - That's impressive. - I have just a box of race medals, and it's addictive 'cause it's so much fun. You get the endorphins, and it's this fun community effort. You get so many people that are like-minded around you. - I get it. - They're a blast. - I get it, listen. You guys know that I like going to the gym, it's become a thing for me, and it's especially great because I go with my best friend, she keeps me accountable, but I still hate the running part every time. Every time. Like, ah, it's always a good day when we go in and look at the board and go, whoo, no running today. - Yeah. (laughing) - That's funny, when I was in college, I took a jogging class, you know, I went to a very important university, and I was in really good shape at that point. - Sure. - And I had to test a jogging class. Anyway, congratulations, Jessica. Good luck, and you have our full support. That's a really impressive thing. 20 miles in one weekend, that's no joke. Good for me. - Well, I have your monetary support, too. - You always do. - I'm actually- - More than Tammy's, you know that.
