This week is my 15 minutes of fame for this four year segment!

Monday, July 23, 2012

With the 2012 London Olympics beginning this Friday, I have a few interviews and a live twitter feed and such bustling about this week. My husband says it’s my fifteen minutes of fame for this four year Olympic segment. This one came out today:

If you haven’t ever checked out the Discuss Diabetes Blog, it’s a really good blog with great information.
On Wednesday, Seth Pilkington and I will be doing a live twitter chat at 8pm eastern time (hash tag #tt1). Seth is the son of Paul Pilkington who was a marathoner extroidanairre himself, earning his bit of fame when he was hired as the rabbit for the LA Marathon and when the lead runners wouldn’t go with him he decided to finish and win the race himself – he earned the rabbit fees (he went through in the agreed upon times) and the prize purse. The second place guy whined that it was no fair because the rabbit shouldn’t be able to win. Well, Paul’s win totally changed marathoning; nobody lets the rabbit go anymore! Seth is a very, very talented runner in his own right and stands to have an excellent running career himself.

Later this week, a few other items will be floating around cyberspace and as they come out I’ll try to mention them here. If anyone sees something, though, feel free to post it in a comment! Oh, before I forget to mention, I totally messed up the email archives for the website email and may have lost all emails before yesterday. Please try to send things again, please, I apologize profusely for my computer incompetence.

Happy trails,

Missy
