Perseverance in the face of adversity. That is the mantra of ultrarunning. Little did I know how challenging it would be for me to even get to the starting line. Of course, I also had no idea how tough it would be on race day either. On Friday June 6th, the day before the Kettle Moraine...
For anyone not on my mailing list, I post my most recent update letter, which was quite overdue. Because of that, it is long, just so you know. “Should I give up, or should I keep on chasing pavements, even if it leads nowhere?” Adele, “Chasing Pavements,” 19 “We sometimes have to feel...
I'm back after a 2-week holiday in New York and Tokyo. I'm not going to do a blow-by-blow account, just a few thoughts here. We flew Northwest because we 1) wanted to stopover in Tokyo, 2) were cheap and 3) didn't want to fly United. As a result, we had to change planes again between Narita and JFK,...

Yep, it's that time again, folks. Finals are upon us, and I am pert near frazzled to death! I actually have been doing some interesting cooking and baking along the way to keep me sane; being in the kitchen is a great stress reliever for me, and an opportunity to to re-energize and get my creative...

My weekend in the Bay Area wasn’t entirely about traipsing around without a schedule and sleeping like the dead. I had work to do. My mission, dear reader, was to serve as a bridesmaid to my childhood friend Jennifer, who I’ve known since I was three and she was five, when our backyards butted...
America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride is today. It's happening right now. If I were there, I'd likely have recently left the lunch stop at King's Beach and would be mentally bracing myself for the long, slow climb up Spooner Mountain. I was supposed to be there. I look forward to the ride around Lake...
Today I needed to go over to Evansville and pick up a couple things like new tags for my license plate and I actually needed to go to Victoria's Secret to pick up a new tube of lip gloss. (Bare Bronze Heat Mirage. So pink and so pretty and it smells like Hawaiian Tropic suntan oil. I'm hooked.) I...
Sorry, but I still seem to be lagging a month or so behind. I have no excuses, but the usual busy with stuff…and a bit of procrastination. Of course, I hope you enjoy these, but for me, it is our record of life in China, and I guess as time progresses, the things that seemed so outlandish last...
I was supposed to head out to the lake on Saturday for some sun and wakeboarding with an old friend from high school so I had planned to stay in Friday night. As I was driving home on Friday afternoon, I passed Mr. Lawyer and noticed a girl in his car. He had told me he was going to a "work thing"...
Here we are at the end of October and I realize I haven't posted anything new on this page in over four months. I guess the reason for my tardiness is that even though a lot has happened it hasn't been anything worth writing about. Don't get me wrong, I have an exciting life, at least to me! Gayla...
