Among the places I’ve placed my numbers for training, I’ve tried to keep on in Daily Mile mainly because of the social network (so I can see all the people who really enjoy running) and the blog widget. They just sent a link for my 2010 report card, which charts a modest 183 miles, with [...]

I Want To Annoy You Every Year

cc licensed flickr photo shared by trazomfreak I’ve been on team Diabetes two weeks but have let slide my fund raising campaign, so I just blitzed my [now former?] friends and family (they have no option to opt-out) with an email message generated via the ADA web site. The key thing I realized is that [...]

This Old Shoe

cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog My bum around shoes were retired from my previous half marathon adventures. It has *some* mileage on it. I have new shoes and am running again dommy.com/ihaterunning/ I’m glad shoes can’t talk, this one might just complain all day long.

Woah, Thanks NMC for Matching Donations

Wow, can I say wow in 128 point font? This morning I used the communication tools the American Diabetes Association is providing us this year to send out about 80 some emails with my plea for sponsoring this year’s run. And did a lot of people respond quickly! Thanks to everyone who has responded early, [...]

Starting Over. Again.

I’m going to crank the I Hate Running Machine up again. It’s been 18 months since my last run (the PF Changs Rock and Roll Marathon in January 2008). I’d had spurts and stops of running, none more than a week at a time. I have started kayaking, which is fun and good upper body [...]

Shhhh

Don’t tell anyone, but I am secretly trying to start up running again… and I still hate it. But my A1Cs went over 8 then down to 7.5, and I need to get my glucose in order, and I am tired of thing around my gut, and the demon that sneaks in the house at [...]
