Feeling Defeated
I don’t know where my running future lies, but I keep going. I’ve never had a feeling of euphoria. Running does not provide stress relief or clear my mind. I don’t even like it. I run because I told my mom (and everyone who has donated a dollar to me) I would keep running and fundraising until she had a medicine that worked for her.
When I started running a few years ago, I couldn’t make it to the end of the block. I wanted to do a 5k with a 20 minute mile pace and I don’t know that I could have done it, honestly! I started C25k and it was hard. I didn’t really time myself for a while until I started training with Team Challenge. I was at about a 12 minute mile. I got to about a 10:30 minute average if I really pushed it. I fell all the time, but I was running! Strangely, since I was not part of any running group, I was perfectly happy with my time. There was no one to make me feel bad about running so slow! I didn’t even know I was that slow.
Dumbo Double Dare Recap
Dragon is sleeping, so I figured I’d write this now….Dumbo Double Dare is over and I survived.

There’s no I in team
That’s probably why I run, instead of, say, play Soccer. I don’t have a competitive bone (or nerve) in my body, so having a team rely on me to play my best is kind of hilarious. (Just ask the Playboy softball team and all the losses we had because I never learned how to play catcher.) Plus, I don’t want to workout with people, on a schedule, or really near anyone. I don’t want to worry about what everyone else is doing. The thoughts in my head are way more than enough to keep me company.
Running all the way to Disneyland…
Well, okay, I’m flying, but I’m going to run through, and around and to Disneyland this weekend. Everyone is posting packing lists, DLH advice, and fun Disney tips. My favorite blog post demystifies the balloon ladies. I’m working. Working. Working.
Protein…and more protein
When people find out that I choose a plant-based training diet, the first question they ask is about how I could possibly get enough protein.
On having a cold
It seems these days that I only get sick at the most inopportune times. Before major surgery. Before major races. While on vacation.
Who am I?
