Mystery lady sprinter stars in Target commercial for Black Friday

Don’t know the lady’s name but am trying to find out. Talking about the star of the Target ad promoting its 4 a.m. sale Black Friday — traditional start of the holiday shopping season. She’s depicted doing crunches and lifts to get in shape for the mad sprint for sales. Looks to be middle-aged. But maybe it’s the makeup. Whatever, it’s a great clip. Love her short choppy steps.

    If Mervyn’s (RIP) doesn’t have a copyright infringement case against them, Eugene Driver certainly should.

    She’s the comedian Maria Bamford (I don’t think they got a double for her for the crunches and last sprint)

    Talk about “running on your toes” . . .maybe we should try this. . . in high heel shoes?

    Ah so. Thanks, Steven!

    She’s well-known, apparently:

    She’s W40, so look for her at worlds!

    Do they allow high heels on Mondo?
