LIZ: I did it. I did it. And it taught me something that I know U.S. military guys know, and the Marines know, when they have to just take one more step when they’ve been up for four days and they’re exhausted and they think, “I can’t do it.” You know, my respect for them … I looked at how Marines trained when I trained for this marathon and I realized your brain can force you to take one more step. It took me forever to run the darn thing – five and a half hours – because I ran it injured. I had a hip injury by then.

wOw: Ouch. How did you injure yourself?

LIZ: At the end of my training. And then I suffered — it’s funny now, but it wasn’t then — internal bleeding.

wOw: Oh, my God, Liz!

LIZ: But I made it. You know, I made it. And there were people dropping like flies to my right and my left and this one guy — we were step for step and we were running along and he just looked perfect. You know how you pick people along the marathon route? So I’m thinking, "I’m going to hang with this person for now.” I hadn’t said a word to him and all of the sudden he stopped. I thought, “What are you doing? Dude, keep running!” And I just kept running. He stopped. He gave up.

But I’m in … I’m actually enrolled to do the Nautica Triathlon in July. I’m going to Israel first, actually, because my cousin is going to be the U.S. Men’s Basketball Team coach for the Maccabiah games. He’s the head basketball coach for the University of Tennessee. So we’re going to go cheer him on, and then five days later I’m back to do the Nautica Triathlon. And then I think I’ll be done. Enough already with thinking I’m No. 1. Enough already.

wOw: You say that, Liz but, you know, everybody says that and everybody keeps doing it.

LIZ: Exactly. Exactly.

wOw: And triathlons are great. They’re a good change from the havoc that running could wreak on your body.

LIZ: Yes. Although somebody said I have to go get a wetsuit and some tetanus shots, because the swim is in the Hudson. Lovely.

wOw: You’ll be fine. I don’t think you need tetanus shots. Well, talk to your doctor … Did you hear about the jellyfish during last year’s race?

LIZ: I did. I’m a Jew from Beverly Hills. I can’t deal with jellyfish.

wOw: The jellyfish were an anomaly. But the race — why are you doing it?

LIZ: In the end it’s really to make your heart stronger. I’m in for the distance, whether that’s as a mom, to be healthy for these kids, or to keep fighting the good fight at Fox Business. The body’s your temple and you’ve got to take care of it, and besides, you know, you want to look good. This is television, babe. I just spoke to a big group – the Truckload Carriers Association – about the economy and about Fox Business, and I said to the truckers, “What should my handle be?” They all came up with the "Red Fox," which worked perfectly with my red hair and then Fox Business.

wOw: Perfect.

LIZ: And they said, the “Red Fox.” And I said, “OK. For the truckers I’m going to be the Red Fox.” So, you know, you’ve got to live up to the image, right?
