Yesterday, Taylor Swift stopped by the studio for a surprise visit.

First, let me say that she's incredibly nice and tall (like 5'10" and she had on some killer heels).

Now, let's talk about ME!

As you may or may not know, I'm training for my very first race. Next Sunday, October 24th, I will be in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Kingsport! So to prepare, I've been running every morning. I try to do at least 2 miles on a daily basis and strive for more on the weekends.

Unfortunately, I'm dealing with shin splints and have been told to take it easy for a couple of days. Thus, yesterday morning instead of running, I decided to lift weights! As I was getting ready for work, I seriously thought about putting a little extra effort into my appearance and do my hair and make-up. I quickly nixed the idea as I remembered that I was going to Zumba class immediately after work.

I'm one of those people that doesn't like to wear make-up when I sweat...I drips into my eyes and burns...I then rub my eyes and end up looking like a raccoon. Not pretty.

I drive to work and go about my merry little day. Picture me all la-de-da-de-da and BAM! Holy Cow - Taylor Swift is sitting in the building! And, of course, she looks perfect. Hair and lashes curled, bubbly and laughing. She had on the cutest retro shoes with a 5 inch heel and I have a unsightly tomato stain on my white t-shirt from breakfast!

Part of me wanted to hide but come on, it's Taylor Swift! So I ran, hugged the gal and posed for pics! Glad I did, too!!
