Former Huskers and NFL players Eric Warfield and Jay Foreman and I.
The one on the left got a picture on his phone of the 3 of us as well. 😉 I still got it! The one on the right’s hand brushed my butt twice after the pictures!
Yup, still got it! 😉
When I told them I remember watching them play in the mid 90’s, the one told me there was no way I was old enough! Love that!
While there aren’t many…there are some! Sometimes you meet famous people.
With Husker football starting on Saturday, we’re shooting our pre-season special tonight for air tomorrow.
Two former Huskers and former NFL players are about 15 feet away from me right now. Jay Foreman and Eric Warfield played for the Huskers in the glory days (the 90’s). They seem like nice guys.
When they walked in with our sports Director (into a newsroom full of women!) the one said “Helloooo ladies!” He smiled quite wide as well.
Made me giggle a bit to myself. Once a (football) player. Always a (football) player.
Cuz that’s all I felt like doing tonight.
1 mile, 10:31, on the treadmill no less.
I think if I don’t run in the morning all of my motivation slowly drains away as the day goes on. I did NOT want to run tonight. But the fact that I’m going to the Valentino’s buffet for dinner with a college friend tonight, (Nebraska friends, you know what I’m talking about!) Meant I had to go do it.
Tomorrow is a new day. A day that’s supposed to be 100° temperature-wise…heat indices in the 105° range mean a morning run must happen! Even though it’s forecasted to be 80° by 8am.
I can’t do the treadmill. Not yet. It’s not time. So I will suffer in the early morning.
Have a great night friends!

3.1 miles. 35:00 minutes. There was some walking. It was humid. But I got up and got it done.
I woke up, wide awake at 5:20. It was still crazy dark. And the moon was orange! How odd.
Happy hump day friends!
“If I don’t go for a run in this weather, it’s like spitting in Mother Nature’s face.” -Me
Vacation miles are the best kind of miles. You can run when you want, for how long you want, when the mood strikes. Love that.
The rain finally let up around 2 so I ran out for a 5k. It was a decent run, and I’m pleased. Vacation is good…hope you all have a great week friends!
This day. Yes please. Sheer perfection. 72°, no humidity, and it’s almost too cool in the shade. I’m on vacation for the next week. Life is good.
Today we had a Biometric Screening at work. They checked our height/weight/BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, Cholesterol, and triglycerides and the TC/HDL ratio, glucose, etc.
My numbers were FANTASTIC!!!
I’m down a pound from last week at my regular doc’s office! Only 7 more to go! My BMI? I’m totally normal! (Which I knew, but its nice having that confirmed!)
My waist circumference? 28inches! Um, hello?! I guess I am pretty tiny there…that’s awesome.
Blood pressure: 105/70-fantastic. Normal is 120/80 Pulse: 50-even better. Normal is 60-100. The screener was concerned until I told her I’m a runner. Then she wanted to talk about running and weight loss. I love that!
But the coolest part? My total Cholesterol was 167. HDL was 61. and my TC/HDL radio was 2.7 Anything under 200 for Total Cholesterol is great, the lower the better. For HDL the “desirable" numbers are above 60. Yeah baby! We didn’t do a fasting test so I don’t know the LDL numbers or triglycerides. My TC/HDL ratio should be less than 3.5.
She was concerned about my Glucose. for non-fasting it should be less than 140. Mine was 65! She asked me if I felt dizzy or faint, and did I need a protein bar?! I told her I was fine, and just was about to go heat up my lunch, so no worries. My mother the nurse told me to eat more for lunch (and carbs) to help that problem.
All in all, I’m pleased. These numbers are great and I know exactly what I need to do to lose those last few pounds.
Also awesome today? I did intervals during my run this morning again. It kind of sucked to do those 12 hours apart..HOWEVER, the weather was great! 58 degrees and humid, but sunny. It was a good morning for a run.
Hope you had a great hump day friends!
That’s been my day. And it’s only 1:30pm! What does the afternoon have in store? Happy Hump Day friends!
The roomie interviewing Mr. Damon. Nice guy. His nephew is coming to UNL this fall. He says he’s now a Husker fan!
Matt Damon is in Lincoln today. He’s the mentor to an 18-year-old kid who is considering going to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (my alma mater!) and so they are touring the campus.
Seems like a cool dude…my roomie the reporter is out stalking him, trying to get an interview!
Just another normal day!
Edit: the roomie interviewed Matt. Pics to come. Also, it’s his nephew that’s coming to the school this fall. Pretty cool. Also, she says he was super nice!
