On Running

On Running

Another post so soon! A few people have asked why this running blog changed into a regular blog. Simple answer: I am not running right now, but I have not lost that spirit or the love of writing. Here’s what happened. After being a big runner up into my teenage years, I stopped due to…

Of Maple Leaves and Gospel Music

Of Maple Leaves and Gospel Music

Last night my husband and I watched Nick Offerman’s “American Ham” comedy show. Spiking throughout the routine were themes of getting outdoors and appreciating nature, with the lest segments giving a thumbs up to getting intoxicated (after working hard) and the thrill of admiring something so simple as a maple leaf. This morning I finished…

Not so Incredible Storms

Posted on 11 Dec 201423 Feb 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on Not so Incredible Storms
Not so Incredible Storms

Earlier in the week I tweeted about getting excited about running in some “incredible storms” Vancouver was supposed to get. This running generation will go down into history as the ones who practiced their sport in elements that are tied to climate change rather than the good old-fashioned single weather events and storms from the…

We Are Writing the Story

We Are Writing the Story

I’m typing this entry today before running; I doubt I’ll have any wonderful insights later because I’ll be running on the treadmill for once instead of outside. It has been so unseasonably cold here that it reminds me of my growing-up years in Chicago. I have run in this weather but not since over the…

Kinder Morgan Protests

Kinder Morgan Protests

First, it seems anything and everything has stunted my running. Over the weekend I was getting ready to go out on my last day of week seven when I began having acute pain in my chest that made it hard to breathe. Had I not had this in the past I would assume it was…

The Milestone

Posted on 29 Oct 201423 Feb 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on The Milestone
The Milestone

For most runners starting with the C25K program, week 5, day 3 is the big milestone. It’s a straight 20 minute run, which, depending on your speed, is a good mile and a half or two, maybe more. I did this on Saturday morning, marveling at the clouds, the leaves, the oncoming rain. I didn’t…

The Storms of Canada

The Storms of Canada

Today was the wettest run I’ve had yet on this C25K program, and while at first it felt cold, it felt wonderful in the end. One thing that keeps happening is that I feel more connected with the elements. Being a lover of nature, I find running the perfect sport for that need to be…

Halfway There

Halfway There

This morning I reached my halfway mark through the couch to 5K program. It actually started out to be physically my worst morning yet. I couldn’t sleep last night due to my knee aching. (I was also in the midst of this fantastic book, which kept me up too; I’ll talk about that in a…

Beating the Blerch

Beating the Blerch

Welcome to the new running blog. My husband is the best Over the weekend I accompanied my husband to Seattle for a half-marathon. Let me back up here. In January 2013 my husband began a “couch to 5K” running program. At that time he was about 60 pounds heavier and loved eating chips while sitting…
