Sharing a photo of herself looking all "runned-out" after her training, sitting on a West Village stoop alongside a friend – and trusty running partner – as they flexed their muscles for the camera, she wrote: "Just a shout out to anyone who is struggling with running... I have not had a run where I felt strong for weeks now!!!"

The news anchor cut herself some slack, reasoning with fans: "Maybe it's the humidity and heat…" and confessing: "But going into week 7 of marathon training and feeling like I wanna give up."

Still, she inspired them by maintaining that she would keep going strong, while being honest with her followers, writing: "I'm not going to... but I've wanted to during several runs."
