One of the great things about my job is that even though I have to work weekends, I can still enjoy the afternoon oustide since I don’t start my shift until 2:45 p.m. It’s really the ultimate compromise. My pre-work activities vary from working out, to catching up with friends, but today was all about [...]

Is it just me, or do you automatically feel better waking up to sunny skies? After last week I’ve noticed a definite difference in how I feel the moment I wake up. Granted, I still wouldn’t mind staying in bed a few extra minutes…actually make that hours… but there’s been a little more pep in [...]

So I have a confession, I have not worked out since Monday! My calendar is pretty void of “X’s” at this point, and I’m going to channel some Milli Vanilli and “Blame it on the Rain.” (I’ve posted their music video for the song, it made me laugh the other day at work after my [...]

One of the things I love about being a reporter is being right in the thick of things, documenting what’s happening in our communities and at times, braving the elements. I’ve covered four fires and several rains, but I can honestly say I’ve never covered storm damage like what I saw in Cambria today. The [...]

This week has been a great running week for me! My calendar has 5 “X’s” on it, and 4 of those are runs. After a 5.2-miler on the treadmill the other day, I set out this morning determined to hit 6 miles before work. The Chains of Love 15K is in less than one month, [...]

If you’re at all interested in health and fitness, San Luis Obispo is the place to be this weekend! The San Luis Obispo Health and Fitness Expo starts tomorrow with a 5K, and runs through Sunday at the Alex Madonna Expo Center. Doors are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, and it features dozens [...]

No, I’m not a paid sponsor for Nike, but the famous phrase perfectly describes my experience at the gym last night. Since I work during the day on Wednesday and Thursday (often in Santa Maria), I find myself at the gym more often these days. You all know how much I dislike running on the treadmill, [...]

Today is my Friday and it’s the last day of my first week back on my old schedule. As most of you have probably  noticed, I am now reporting Wed-Fri, anchoring the 11pm newscast on Friday night and then anchoring the weekend shows. It is good to be back but it has definitely taken some [...]

I’ve done about three runs with my new running shoes and just like the title of this blog says, so far… so good! They definitely feel a bit stiff but then again, so do I! I took about two weeks off because of my illness and traveling for the holidays (I know, I shouldn’t have [...]

One of the great things about living on the Central Coast, is there is so much to do and see! Things people travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles to check out. One of those things is Hearst Castle. I made my first trip to San Simeon more than a year ago, when my family came [...]
