By this evening, I’ll be wearing a new hat—that of a disc jockey!  It’s a new role—one that I never imagined I would ever be given the opportunity to undertake and one that is worlds away from my job as mommy, graphic designer, baby sign language instructor, and running blogger—but it’s one that I’ll definitely enjoy as it revolves around one of my greatest passions (and yours too!): RUNNING!

Tune in to the debut of RUN RADIO on NU 107.5 at 9:00 to 10:00 PM.  We’ll be on air every Friday, same time, same station thereafter.

Fresh off the press, The Bull Runner Magazine (July-Sep 2009 issue) will be yours for the taking starting tomorrow!

WHERE: NU 107.5

On July 24, tune in to NU 107.5 to hear the first airing of RUN RADIO, a new radio show made especially for runners. Listen to power songs you can use on your MP3 playlists, get the latest info on races and running events, and learn from experts in the running field who will guest on the show. Cool eh?

Now, the DJ’s…Run Radio will be hosted by myself and Jay Nacino (Prometheus Cometh)—Jay and Jaymie! We run together and chat about running to no end, so I expect that we’ll make a great team talking about our beloved running while all of you listen in.

Next Thursday, Jay and I will be guests on NU to talk about Run Radio. Hope you can tune in.

The brains behind Run Radio is no other than Marga Deona (The Changeling Child).
