I like to draw, and as the daughter of a music teacher, I think that I am somewhat musically inclined. I enjoy writing, and feel that I have a deep appreciation for music, journalism, and film. But by no means have I ever considered myself an artist.
Recently, however, I came up with a [...]

It’s been 3 months now since my last run. My foot feels like it’s on the mend, but the tenosynovitis is really persistent. Some days it feels almost normal, but other days I question how I ever ran with this injury. The physical therapist is encouraging me to try it out a [...]

First of all, I’d like to thank all of my readers — especially those who have encouraged me to write (Jim K., George W., my uncle Bruce and aunt Patti, etc.). I am sorry that I’ve been out of touch. I guess you can say that I’ve been somewhat uninspired lately, as my [...]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It’s not as stressful as Christmas, when we’re usually traveling hundreds of miles to see family, but it’s a big enough deal that we make a point of doing something fun. In years past, we’ve done some great camping trips in Big Sur or Death Valley or the [...]

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences, good or bad, that they would like to share about cortisone injections?

Well, it’s been almost 5 weeks since St. George and I’m still hardly running. My injuries are teasing me — they disappear when I don’t run, making me think that they’re gone and that my body is ready to start again. So I’ll try running a few miles, easy, but then pay for it by [...]

Last week while riding my bike home from school in the dark, a very white animal suddenly crossed my path. “Man,” I thought, “that looks like a raccoon.” Thinking that my eyes were playing tricks on me and that it was just a very white cat (and so maybe my luck was changing?) with a [...]

I went for a bike ride today, nice and easy. I felt good the whole time, especially on the downhills. Almost two weeks post-marathon attempt, I have forgiven them for wreaking havoc on my legs.

Last night I went for a run. It was the first time I’d run since the marathon. I didn’t plan in advance to go for a run, and I certainly didn’t want to — it was late and dark out, and I really just wanted to go to bed.
So why did I go? Well, I [...]

I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while, but I always come up with some excuse not to. I don’t have enough time. I’d rather be out running. I have nothing interesting to write. I might spell something horribly wrong. I haven’t written anything non-scientific since, like, sophomore year of college. I could embarrass [...]
