We are excited to tell you WCCO reporter Heather Brown has signed up for Team Ortho Foundation's 2010 Monster Marathon Series!

Heather is an avid runner.  She writes on her blog with WCCO, "I’m generally a run-by-myself kind of gal. It’s my time to daydream. I use my running to think. It gives me a chance to work out any problems. I laugh out loud a lot when I run. I also sort through any anger, frustration, heartache and loss. It’s a good space for me to process."  Sound familiar?  She said she's happy to have new running goals with Team Ortho's series in 2010.

In fact, she did an impressive job of multitasking at our Polar Dash this year, when she not only ran the race, but she also did a story for the news.  She interviewed a family who was running in remembrance of their loved one, Kelly Nafus.
