Emily Toia runs toward 100 miles while giving a (probably sweaty) high-five to her daughter.
Dimity and Sarah stammer in amazement at the accomplishments of this show’s guest, Emily “Emz” Toia, who recently ran her second 100-miles-in-24-hours fundraiser on a treadmill. This 36-year-old mother of one tells the gals how she ran ’round the clock—yet kept the treadmill console covered with a towel the entire time so she couldn’t see the mileage or pace readout. Dimity peppers Emily with questions, including ones about bathroom breaks and “output.” Emily talks about why 4:00 a.m. was the toughest time to run, and why she, “enjoys these weird, long runs.” But to kick things off, the gals travel back in time to 1859.

I’m still in awe of Emz!! So awesome and even more awesome it was for a great cause. I can’t believe she has a daughter that old. She looks fab. Way to go girl! – Jessica
