We opend the show by apologizing to Mighty Mom Katie for teasing her about her recent sinus surgery – the rumor that she had  cosmetic surgery was untrue – according to her. We also mourned Whitney Houston’s passing.

Our first guest, Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien is finishing up her new book which will make lucky number 7 if you are scoring at home. She talked about what not to say to her if you see her dining out – “You eat that?!?” She shared a supermarket tip of don’t go shopping hungry and always chew some mint gum to stop food cravings. Her restaurant tips included planning ahead and checking out the menu online before you set foot inside the restaurant.

She talked about her Valentine’s Day dinner on the iCarly set and how she ran into Sinbad at the dentist. She also talked about the strange things people bring to her when they see her at book signings.

We closed the show with Derrick Smith co-creator of A Run For Your Lives - a super cool zombie obstacle course fun run that  beats the heck out of any regular 5k.

The first official Run For Your Lives race launched Oct. 22, 2011 in Darlington, Maryland (halfway between Baltimore and Philadelphia). They had 10,000 participants and spectators at their very first race in Darlington, Maryland. With the social media buzz that they generated leading up to the first race, they knew immediately that this was something big and they wanted to expand to more locations in 2012. They have 12 races lined for this year – with the next race taking place outside of Atlanta (in Union Point) on March 3. Sing up fast because the deadline is quickly approaching. And be sure to look out for a cast member of The Walking Dead. This race is for people 14 years old and up. Be warned you will get dirty and maybe even bloody. You have to run the 5k course over 10-12 obstacles while staying away form the zombies who are trying to remove your flag football flags around your waist. Check out the videos on their website to see the zombies in action.

 We opened the show and quickly noticed Katie the Mighty Mom or is it Mighty Mom Katie was missing. It seems she was not feeling up to doing the show so be sure to wish her well on Facebook or on her blog. Dr Fitness spent a very long time gloating about the NY Giants Super Bowl victory and he talked about his upcoming daughter daddy dance. The Fat Guy rambled on about his new invention –  a new weight loss product called Juggle Away The Jiggle featuring weighted juggling balls – his vision is to see this group exercise class replace Zumba in gyms. If you want to help us launch this make believe product let us know on Facebook.

Our guest today was Mike Wein who started competing in triathlons when he was around 50 years old. Today he is one of the best 60 year old triathletes in the world. He had a bunch of great training tips for the new runner or the new triathlete.

  1. He said that a great way to pace yourself is that if you can talk to someone while you run then you are at the right pace
  2. But if you can sing then you are running too slow.
  3. He also recommended that you listen to your body
  4. He said not to over medicate your aches and pains
  5. He said to have a goal or dream that makes you tear up when you tell others about it

He shared some dramatic stories about finishing on the podium at the Ironman event in Kona. Remember this is a guy who, when he started running just wanted to not finish last who now finishes first in the world – real inspiring stuff.

Learn about Mike’s specific edge to success in fitness and in life on his website and blog and also learn how he helps disabled athletes acquire the right equipment in order for them to compete in triathlons
