I started running outside when I was at 'Biggest Loser.' Then I got runner's knee and thought I was never going to be able to shake it. When I overcame that and ran the L.A. Marathon it was such an amazing thing and now running is such a part of my routine.

When you have two busy kids running around the house returning e-mails is a task let alone surfing the web.

Once you grow past Mommy and Daddy coming running when you're hurt you're really on your own. You're alone and there's no one to help you.

We talk a lot on 'Biggest Loser' about how fitness is a natural antidepressant how it burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone. I'm always busy with people at work with my kids. I love getting out for a run by myself and just listening to my music.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds listen to their singing go hiking camping and jogging and running walking along the beach playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.

I would often find myself at the age of 21 at midnight running down a dark street on my own with 10 men chasing me. And the fact they had cameras in their hands made that legal.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
